28. Going on a Diet

Little Johnny is talking to his mother.

J： How come you always make me do things I don’t want to？

M： What do you mean？

J： Well， for instance， you always force me to eat steaks， pork chops and chicken， day in and day out.

M： Ok. What do you want？

J： All I want is vegetables and fruit from now on.

M： What’s wrong with you？ Are you sick？

J： No， but I want to go on a diet.

M： Why？

J： Everyone’s calling me Fatty at school.

M： Oh… I get it now.
