Dialogue 9 - In the Kitchen at a Party
Judy:  What are you going to put in it?
Mike:  Well, I thought some chopped up Kangaroo sausages, tomatoes, steak spice, vegies and rice. Then simmer in barbecue sauce.
Judy:  They’ll bolt it down quickly.
Mike:  Not sure about the salad, though. I think the guys will pick at it. Pass me the blender, will you?
Judy:  Sure. What are you making now?
Mike:  I figured that I’d whip up a pancake or two for the kids.
Judy:  Oh, I don’t know. I’ve been trying to cut back on sweet things for them.
Mike:  Oh, okay. Don’t want them to pig out too much.
Judy:  I’m glad the party wasn’t called off.
Mike:  Yeah. Seems to have turned out to be a real cool shindig. Though some of the kids are real brats. How do their parents account for their bad behaviour?
Judy:  They reckon its ADD. But I reckon if they were to do away with the chips, coke, sugary drinks, burgers, red cordial and other things like chocolate and sweets, and just give them fruit, veggies and lean beef or fish, everyone would be happy as Larry. I see it in my students every day. The Japanese kids are quiet and polite and happily chow down their sushi and do their work. The Australian kids are rowdy, have crap lunches and don’t give a toss. You’d think parents would be educated about this. But no, most of them are bogans.
Mike:  You sound like you feel strongly about it. You know a McDonald’s manager is at the party.
Judy:  Oh, let me at him!!!
Mike:  Haha. Steady on. Okay, I’ll have to hide him. Don’t want him walking out or you getting carried away.
Judy:  Ok. I promise not to say anything. I’ll be as cool as a cucumber and I’ll use my noodle. Don’t want to be in the soup!
Mike:  Excellent. Pass me the sifter, will you? Got to make some bread for supper. They’re going to be knocking back a few drinks so toast and coffee will probably go down well for tomorrow morning.
Judy:  I figured that this party is an all-nighter. I don’t know if I can stay that long. I’ll have to think it over.
Mike:  I could introduce you to Jack. He’s staying on the lounge. If you two get on, then maybe you could share it with him. He’s rich and handsome
Judy:  What’s he do?
Mike:  He’s a McDonald’s manager!
Judy:  Aaarggh. No way!
