Conversation 4

Woman: I was talking to Susan, today, and she said that her daughter got into college.

Man: Oh, that’s great! She must be very excited.

Woman: Yes, she’s thrilled that she got into a good college, but she’s a bit worried, too.

Man: What is she so worried about?

Woman: Typical mom stuff. She’s worried she’ll be alright living alone.

Man: Her daughter will be fine! It’s all a part of growing up.

Woman: Yeah, I think she knows that. I think that she’s also sad that her daughter will be far from home.

Man: Yeah, that’s tough for any parent.
