🍃What Mood Are You In?🍃
A: Are you OK? You seem a bit anxious.
B: Yeah I’m OK, I have been having a lot of mood swings lately. I think it has to do with the pills my doctor prescribed that are causing chaos on my hormones.
A: So you mean you feel ecstatic one minute and then blue the next?
B: Yeah, it’s weird. For example just this morning I was feeling detached and lonely, even though there was really no reason to feel that way.
A: Well, maybe your mood will swing positively and you will feel confident, brave and hopeful!
B: I hope you are right.

📚 Homeschooling 📚
A: I think we should home school our children when we decide to have kids.
B: What? Why?
A: Well, our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive. I have been reading up on home schooling and it has a lot of advantages.
B: Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.
A: Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.
B: I think neither your parents or mine would agree to such an idea.
A: I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.
B: Good luck with that!
