2. Let’s make some more!

Holly and Chris are having dinner with their children, Jack and Sam.

Holly: Jack! Elbow off the table!

Jack: But Sam’s got his elbow on the

table, too.

Chris: Sam! You, too!

Holly: I have a bone to pick with you two. Dad said you ate all the mince pies.

Jack: We did not! Dad had loads and so did George. Are they all gone?

Chris: Sorry, boys. They were just so good! How about us all helping to make some more

tomorrow? It’s only fair, seeing as we ate them all.

Holly: Great! How about you three doing the baking, while I put my feet up?

Chris: We can handle that, can’t we boys? How hard can it be? Holly: You’ll have to go and get some

more mincemeat first.

Chris: OK. Is there anything else we

need?

Holly: An orange, cinnamon, flour,

butter... Oh, and icing sugar.
