Bingo


B1
“Nice start.”
“True.”
“Heard you were the lucky winner today.”
G52
“True, Beth called.”
“Your granddaughter, that’s a rare one. Why’d she call?”
“To thank me for her birthday card.”
I22
“How much you send her?”
“Fifty dollars.”
“That’s quite a bit don’t you think?”
G55
“Maybe, but she called.”
“Certainly. How long did you talk?”
“Forty-seven minutes.”
O72
“A long one. What’d you talk about?”
“A little bit of school. Mostly how she’s going to spend the money.”
“What’s she doing with it?”
B9
“Going to a concert."
“Who she going to see?”
“One Direction.”
G60
“Not bad. They’re pretty good, though not quite my thing.”
“I know, there so much better music out there.”
“Now wait a minute, it’s certain that they’re fine, just not my preference.”
I27
“Not saying they’re bad; Zayn’s got a nice voice and that Harry’s quite the crooner. I just think they need to expand what they’re doing. Give themselves a little depth. Experiment a bit like the Beetles did.”
“I’ll grant you they could grow a bit. They’re still early in their career; you need to give them time.”
“True. I just prefer a different style of music. I really like that Meghan Trainor.”
G57
“I’ll grant you she’s good; but she’s just starting out we don’t know if she’s got the gumption to hang in there for a long career.”
“True. True, but she has an old fashioned sound that flows very well. She’s not using it as a gimmick and plays well.”
“I’ll grant you that and she slips into rap well without it feeling out of place but the road to Motown is littered with one album singers who couldn’t handle the pressure of a music career.”
I27
“True.”
“Certainly.”
“How long’s it been for you?”
G48
“Four months.”
“Your birthday.”
“Yeah we talked for twenty-three minutes; just long enough to wish me a happy birthday, make sure I got a piece of cake from the home, and tell me about Julian winning the science fair.”
O63
“Did they mention Sarah?”
“Not once. They’re so disappointed in her and the life she’s chosen.”
“It’s disgraceful how they treat their own daughter just because she didn’t follow the life path they wanted her to.”
B4
“That’s certain; when will those two accept that e-sports is a perfectly legitimate career choice?”
“I’ll grant you it’s not a guarantee at a good life and it’s a lot of work.”
“It’s certainly unconventional.”
I20
“I will grant you that. Even I was nervous when she started out however, I think she’s proven she can make quite the go of it.”
“I saw last night she just won a tournament.”
“Yes she did; last qualifier for Dream Hack.”
O61
“She made it to Sweden?”
“Damn straight.”
“Good for her.”
B8
“I’m quite proud.”
“She ever call?”
“No, but we chat on line when we’re playing.”
O67
“That’s nice. What’re you playing?”
“She got me into the beta for Heroes of the Storm. If you want I can see if she’s got an extra code after the game.”
“I’d like that.”
