Speaker 1: I had to leave the house for a bit, before I left I gave my kids instructions on what I wanted them to do around the house.
Speaker 2: Did they follow your instructions, or did they do their own thing?
Speaker 1: I figured they would just goof off.  However; when I returned all chores were comples.  I was pretty impressed.
Speaker 2: Wow!  I didn't expect that answer from you!  That must have been a great surprise!
