Dialogue

It's Saturday and Mrs Smith has gone shopping with her daughter Lucy for a new dress in the sales:-

Lucy:

Well mum, what do you think?

Mrs Smith:

Mmm, it's nice, but I think you need a slightly bigger size. The top is gaping.

Lucy:

I think this is the only one.

Mrs Smith:

I'd better ask an assistant.

Excuse me. Do you have this in a size 12?

Shop assistant:

I'm afraid everything in the sale is out on display.

Mrs Smith:

Oh dear. It's just a bit too tight.

Shop assistant:

I think we have a size 12, in red.

Lucy:

Oh no. Red's just not my colour.

Shop assistant:

It's not bright red, it's a nice dark red. Here it is. Why don't you try it on? There's a changing room free over there.

Later…

Lucy:

It fits like a glove. What do you think Mum?

Mrs Smith:

It looks really nice. I guess red suits you after all.
