Jenny: Hi, Carol. How's life been treating you?

Carol: I've been better. I'm going through a rough patch.

Jenny: Sorry to hear that. What's going on?

Carol: My husband and I are splitting up. I found out he's been cheating on me for years with his receptionist.

Jenny: I'm speechless!

Carol: Fortunately, I wasn't speechless when I found out. I gave him a piece of my mind!

Jenny: Good! And how's your son John doing? Did he manage to find a job since we last spoke?

Carol: No such luck. Poor John fell off the roof a couple weeks ago while doing some repairs and broke both his legs!

Jenny: You must've been beside yourself!

Carol: I was a basket case for several days. Now he's on the road to recovery, but it's going to take a while.

Jenny: If you ever want to talk, just give me a call.

Carol: I would enjoy getting together.

Jenny: Okay. I'll stop by later this week.
