Valerie! Hi, wow, how have you been? It's been such a long time! Darlene, indeed it's been a while! How have you been? Wow, you look amazing. I love what you've done with your hair. Really? Thanks. I went to that hair salon you told me about, but enough about me. Look at you, God you haven't ate it today! What is your secret? Come on, well I've been watching what I eat and I work out three times a week. By the way, I heard your son recently graduated. Yes, my little Paul is finally a doctor. They grow up so fast, you know. He is such a handsome guy. He gets his looks from his mother of course. Thank you. What about your daughter Pamela? I heard she passed the bar exam and married recently. Oh yes, she had a beautiful wedding in Cosamel, Mexico and we all attended. Such a lovely girl. I hope my Paul is lucky enough to find a girl like that someday. But of course, well it's been great talking to you, but I have to get going. Same here. We'll catch up soon, maybe over coffee. That would be great. Give me a call. See you soon, bye! Ugh, I cannot stand that woman or her obnoxious daughter.
