A: I hate coming to high school reunions.
B: It will be great honey. We will get to see your old classmates and catch up to see how they have been doing.

C: Pleasure to meet you. So Bill, how have you been?
A: Can’t complain! We have 2 children who are in college and my business is going well. What about you?
C: Ah you know me! I am a dedicated bachelor. I never married although I do have a beautiful daughter with Mary, you remember her? We were high school sweetheart, didn’t really work out between us, but I really can’t complain either.
A: That’s good. Have you seen Frank? I was hoping he would come tonight.
C: You didn’t hear? Frank passed away last year.
A: Are you serious?
C: Nah! I’m just yanking your chain. He’ll be here soon. I saw him just last week and he told me he would show up.
