Mom, have you seen my new white jeans?<br />I put them in the washing machine. They were dirty. Your black ones are in the drawer and your blue ones are in the cupboard.<br />I'm next to the cupboard, so I'll wear the ones in there.

What does the man think of the woman's hair?

I missed the long hair I had when I was 13.<br />I'm going to grow it out again.<br />Your hair grows fast, so it won't take long to get it long again.<br />But I really think you look better with short hair.

That singer you like is performing at the stadium in January. Are you going?<br />I'd like to, but the tickets are so expensive. And I did see him in London and Birmingham.<br />You also saw him in Manchester. We went with you.
