The City Life Is NOT for Me!
Mark : I finally found the perfect house! It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a barn, a garage, five acres of land, and a chicken coop.
Sandy : A chicken coop? In Chicago?
Mark : In Cumberland about 40 miles west of here. I think I'm going to make an offer on it.
Sandy : But that means you'll have to drive an extra hour each morning to get to work. That will really wear on you.
Mark : Wait, didn't I tell you that the boss approved of me telecommuting? I only have to come into the office every other Monday! It's been in the works for a while.
Sandy : That's amazing! But aren't you going to miss life in the city? It's going to be so monotonous living out there with... the chickens.
Mark : As a matter of fact. I'm not. I'm tired of the city.
Sandy : But what about wing night with the gang? And going to the movies on Sunday afternoons with me and my sister?
Mark : Now you guys can come out to my place and spend a weekend winding down after the stress of the city!
Sandy : I suppose the fresh air and total relaxation will be a nice antidote to city life.
Mark : Exactly! And you can help me milk the goats and feed the chickens at the crack of dawn!
