Alison: Good morning, Grandmother! How are you today?
Grandmother: I'm still here.
Alison: It's another beautiful day.
Grandmother: Another beautiful, hot and simmery day. Lets turn on the TV.
Alison: It's nice and quiet. Let's talk instead of having the TV on.
Grandmother: I want to know what's going on in the world.
Alison: Let's read the paper. Washington Post headline: House Leaders Postpone Vote on Debt Plan. Oh, Grandmother, this is bad news. The deadline is August 2 and if the US cannot pay the interest on its debt, the country will have defaulted and its credit rating will be downgraded. Interest rates will go up and everything will be more expensive.
Grandmother: Nothing new.
hahaha, was this last night? so great.
