Dialog
1. Listen and Read - Listen to the audio and read the dialog at the same time.
2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
John: So you became an aunt?
Nedra: Yeah. My brother and his girlfriend had a little baby boy a few weeks ago.
John: Oh, congratulations! Have you seen it yet?
Nedra: Yeah, I got to see him last weekend. I got to hold the baby!
John: So did it make you want one of your own?
Nedra: Um, in some ways. I mean, right now all that baby does is eat and sleep. It doesn’t interact with you or play with you or anything like that.
John: What’s his name?
Nedra: Um, his name is my dad’s name – John. (And also your name!)
John: Hey – that’s a great name!
Nedra: That’s what my brother thought!
John: Are they planning on more kids?
Nedra: I bet. I, I can guarantee it!

It sounds like Nedra is very excited about her new nephew, but she is happy to just be an aunt for the time being. Do you think she sounds like she wants to have children soon? Maybe she will be more excited about having her own baby when her nephew becomes more playful!
If you see any babies this week make sure to think of Nedra!
Have a great one,
