Nell: Where are those puppies?
Me: They are asleep on my bed, Nell. Aren’t they gorgeous? Look how Dave is snuggling up to his sister.
Nell: You know they’ve been out all morning?
Me: Yes, playing in the snow.
Nell: The wet snow.
Me: Yes, it’s all starting to melt now.
Nell: Exactly.
Me: You should have seen them, Nell. They were rolling around.
Nell: Outside or inside?
Me: Oh.
Nell: They are nice and dry now anyway.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: How many times have I told you to close your bedroom door?
Me: Sorry.
