Where you going now, Jane?
Just to pick up some groceries for my mum.- Oh okay.
- You seem to be running a lot of errands for her recently.
- Yes, that's true.
- I thought you're really busy with all the essay deadlines next week.
- Yah, I am.
- So why you say yes?
- Oh, because my mum had quite a bad flu last week and is still recovering.
- So I felt like I needed to help out more.
- Aww, what a nice daughter she has!
- Just trying my best to be a good daughter.
- Haha I should learn from you!
- No lah, I'm sure you're a good son in your own way already.
- Nah, I doubt so.
