Hey, Brian. Do you have a minute?
Sure. What's up?- I'm just wondering. Do you happen to have a toboggan?
- Yeah, I do. My kids have a really nice old-fashioned wooden one.
- It was a gift from my parents.
- Do you think I could borrow it this weekend?
- My niece and nephew are coming to visit and with all the snow we're supposed to get,
- I thought it might be fun to take them out tobogganing.
- Sure, that's not a problem.
- Are you sure your family won't be using it this weekend?
- No, we're busy all weekend. It's really no problem.
- Great, thanks a lot!
- Can you stop by my place to pick it up?
- I'll have a hard time bringing it to work on the train.
- Of course, no problem at all.
- I'll call you Saturday to figure out a time.
- Sure.
- Thanks again, eh!
