How’s Tim now?

W: So what’s the matter with you then?
M: Oh, nothing. I’m just a bit led up really.
W: Why’s that? I thought you were pleased about the new job and going to London.
M: I am, I am. It’s just that I’ve bean here for so long in this town and it’s hard to think of anywhere else as home. You know the worst thing will be not being able to take a walk with the dog whenever I feel like it.
W: Yes, I can understand that. But I’m sure once you are settled in you’ll be fine.
M: Sure, but you know it’s not the same as being here. I’ve got friends here, I know where the local shops and cinemas are and of course I’ve got you to look after me !
W: Well, Tim, is that all you’ll miss me for? Doing your washing and ironing... ?
M: No, of course not, Mum. There’s your cooking as well!
W: Thanks a lot, Tim. Anyway when are you leaving?
M: Tomorrow evening, I’ve got Simon to give me a lift with all my stuff. It’s a pity he’s not working in London.
W: That’s good of your brother. And the job?
M: I start on Monday. I don’t know whether to wear a suit or not. What do you think?
W: Probably a good idea on your first day.
M: I suppose so. I can’t bear wearing suits.
W: You look great in a suit.
M: Oh, Mum, do you have to say things like that?
W: Yes, I’m here to say the most embarrassing things to my teenage son. Anyway, it’s only a summer job. You’ll be back in a couple of months.
M: True. Thanks Mum. Can I borrow your laptop? It would be so useful.
W: Tim.
M: Only joking, Mum!
