"Oh,hi."Sue sounded tired. She was washing the dishes while Mandy watched TV in the den.Ken was still at work. He wouldn't be home until 9:00 p.m.
"Listen, Sue. We should go voice full of guilt. " I called him last nigt.
"How is he?" asked John.
"Oh, the same as always. Complaining about his health. Complaining we never go to see him.The usual."
"Well I can't go next weekend. It's Ruth's birthday," said John.
"Neither can I. Mady has a piano recital. And Ken's working."
"So, when, then?We can't leave it forever.
"Oh,I don't know. I Keep telling him he should go to a nursing home. He can get all the help he needs, and we won't have to worry about him."
"Yes, and he might make some frinds, as well" agreed John.

"Because he argues with Samantha all the time. I told you that before."
"Well, what are we going to do?
