Aaron: Hi Bob, are you sending Katie to the school trip?
Bob: Hi Aaron, Katie really wants to go.
Bob: So Marie & I agreed.
Aaron: So does Vicki.
Aaron: I'm trying to convince Sandra though.
Bob: She's not convinced?
Aaron: Well you know, it would be Vicki's first time away from home.
Aaron: For an entire week.
Bob: Yeah, same for Katie.
Bob: But we decided she needs to start getting independent.
Aaron: That's what I was thinking as well, but Sandra is freaking out...
Aaron: I've been telling her that the kids will be taken care of- quite a few teachers are going with them.
Bob: And most of the kids are going, so she won't feel lonely.
Aaron: Exactly and they have so many activities planned.
Aaron: She'll barely have time to think about us :D
Bob: Yeah, and now there are so many means of communication.
Bob: You can see each other every day on Whats app.
Aaron: I know, remember our school trips?
Aaron: We didn't even have cell phones.
Bob: Oh yeah, those were the good old days.
Bob: No parental control :D
Aaron: And that's what I've been telling Sandra all along.
Bob: I have a thought.
Bob: Maybe Marie could invite her for coffee. You know they would chit chat and & maybe she could convince her.
Aaron: That's a great idea man.
Aaron: It might just work.
Bob: OK, I'll tell Marie about our plans.
Bob: She'll give Sandra a call.
Aaron: Perfect, thanks man!
Marie will call Sandra to invite her over for coffee. Bob and Aaron want Sandra to convince Marie to let Vicki go to a school trip for a week.
