Don' forget. My parents are coming to visit this weekend.
Right. I remember. That'll be fun.- Do you have big plans while they're here?
- Not really. I'm worried they're gonna be bored.
- Why don't you take them to that new restarurant that just opened near your office?
- You've been saying you want to try it.
- That's a good idea. But what about during the day?
- There's tons of stuff you can do with them.
- You could go skiing.
- Hm, skiing's pretty expensive. I'm a little short on cash right now.
- Well, how about skating?
- It's free at the park, and they have skates you can rent for a toonie.
- Maybe. What about on Sunday?
- Their flight isn't until the evening so they'll be here all day.
- Take them shopping? Go for a walk by the water?
- In the middle of winter?
- Well, they can bundle up!
- I have a couple of extra toques they could borrow.
- I'll suggest it but I'm not sure they'll go for it.
- Maybe shopping is a better idea.
- I'm sure they'll have fun no matter what.
