Beth: Rough day at the office?
Kaycee: It was hard, but good.
Beth: What happened?
John: Let’s not talk about work at the dinner table.
Beth: Did you meet with the governor yet?
John: What’d I just say?
Beth: What would you like to talk about, Daddy? What should we share? He’s been up since 4 AM working. You go to bed at night thinkingabout work, wake up doin’ the same. If we don’t talk about work, we have nothing to talk about. Are you suggesting we eat in silence? Is that what you want?
[John sighs]
Beth: Are you shushing me, Daddy? I am a 35-year-old woman. When we sit at a table I will talk about whatever the f** I want.
