英会話 – How’s the family?

Two friends over coffee.
John: Hi Sally, nice to see you.
Sally: You too, how’s your family doing?
John: Oh, you know, same old, same old. My wife is loving her new job and little Johnny just finished the first grade.
Sally: Oh, that’s wonderful. How is your sister?
John: Julie? She’s doing alright. She’s been really sick lately, but I think she’s getting better.
Sally: I’m so sorry to hear that. Please send her my regards.
John: I will, but enough about me. What’s new with you?
Sally: Well, my brother Ken just got married and is on his honeymoon right now in Greece.
John: I’m jealous! All we did for our honeymoon was go to the mountains for the weekend.
Sally: I know, he’s lucky! Our parents gave the trip to him and his wife as a wedding gift. I just hope they have enough money saved for my honeymoon!
John: Yeah, is there someone special in the picture?
Sally: No, not really. I’ve just been so busy at work, it’s hard to find the time to date.
John: I know what you mean, but enjoy being single while it lasts. Family life can be a handful.
Sally: I’m sure, I’m certainly in no hurry for a family. Someday I would like to have kids, but right now I feel like I’m too young.
John: You’ll know when the time is right.
Sally: Yeah, I think I will.
