American Parties
Conversation A
A: Where are you off to, Laura?
B: Jordan's baby shower is next week, so I'm going to buy her a gift.
A: What are you going to get?
B: I'm thinking about getting her a blanket. But she is registered at Target, so I'm going there to look at her list first.
A: Just buy her some baby clothes. Infants grow out of them so fast.
B: New mothers need more than just baby clothes. They need diapers, toys and other things.
A: Well, don't spend too much money!
B: I won't. I should be able to get her something nice for under %50.

A: And we have to bring our own meat to barbecue, right?
B: Right, I already bought some steaks.
