"Well, I think it's funny," Sue Ellen said. She saw the bus turn the corner, and adjusted her purse strap. "I'm sure people will comment." We'll tell ...hem we planned on being patriotic," Sabrina said."If we planned it, why are you wearing red?" Sue Ellen asked."Because this is the only clean dress I have," Sabrina replied.

Kristen is at the Paper Store and asked if I'd pick up this book for her. I now realize she just wanted me to run into you here. How long have you owned this store?"
