Unit 142 I Spy

B : Dad, this is so boring, just sitting back here with nothing to do!

M: Playing a game is a fun way to pass time on a long car trip.

B : OK, but what kind of game can we play when we're going 70 miles an hour in a car?

M: Well, when I was young, we used to play a game in the car called “I Spy.” One person decides on an object that he or she can see, and tells us its color, then the rest of us have to ask yes-or-no questions to try and find out what it is.

G : I'll go first, and I spy something that's. B : Hey, I wanted to go first!

M: Billy, let your sister begin. Remember, it's considered good manners to let girls and younger children have their turn ahead of us.

G : Yeah, remember your manners, stupid!

M: Betsy, it's also good manners to treat each other with respect, and not to call people names. I think you need to apologize to your brother.

G : I'm sorry, Billy. Let's start, OK? I spy something small and green, it's on the steering wheel, and. B : Stop, Betsy! Dad said that you're only supposed to tell us its color, not its size or location or anything else.

G : Oh no, I forgot! M: That's OK, honey, everybody makes mistakes. Remember the saying: “If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”

G : OK, let me try again. I spy something.
