W: I’ve just got some good news. Mary has had her baby.
M: Oh, really? When did she have it? Is it a boy or a girl?
W: Yesterday. It is a girl.
M: Our daughter was also born on the tenth of October. I think the two girls can celebrate their birthday together.
W: Yes. And she weighed four and a quarter kilos when she was born. She’s quite a big baby.
M: You know we should go and visit them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at 3:00?
W: QK. What should we take? We must take them something special.
M: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don’t you?
W: Well, people always bring flowers and they don’t last. I think it’s much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her.
M: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of chocolates?
W: That sounds fine. We should also bring something to the baby. What do you think?
M: What about a baby carrier? Or we could get a little hat, or something else.
W: We don’t know the size, or the right color, do we? I’d prefer a soft toy, for example, a Teddy Bear. The girl can play with it for a long time.
M: That’s a good idea. It is already 3 o’clock. Let’s go shopping right now.
W: All right. Let’s go.
