MOM: "Oh, I'm fine. I'm just planning the menu for the Thanksgiving dinner."
LINDA: "What can I help you with this year?"

LINDA: "Sure. Is there anything else?"
MOM: "No, I think your sisters are bringing salads and other side dishes."
LINDA: "Ok. Will our cousins be joining us?"
MOM: "I don't think so. I think they have to go to visit their In-laws this year."
LINDA: "Ok. How many pumpkin pies should I bring?"
