I have twelve brothers and sisters. I live on the beach with my parents. I want to buy my own house. I love having horses and riding them. I will move to the country soon.
Speaker 2
My favorite band is paramore. My father is a professional piano player. My sister is older than me and teaches small children. I own 6 pets. I am currently a grad student.
Speaker 1
I have 12 brothers and sisters. I am on the beach.  I ride horses to clear my mind. I am planning to move to the country.
Speaker 2
I have an older sister.  My older sister teaches. I am a grad student.  I live in a dorm. I live with my dad. I do not plan on moving out until after college.  When I am home during the summer, the only thing my dad does is play piano. I do not play the piano with my dad, since I am bad at it.  My hobby is taking care of pets. I have 6 pets. I have a snake, sugarglider, 2 cats, a Peruvian guinea pig and a pigeon. I only have one sibling.
Speaker 1
Hey, do you have any siblings?
Speaker 2
I do. I have an older sister. She teaches small gross children. Don't know how she does it.
Speaker 1
Me neither. I deal with twelve brothers and sisters. I need to get a house soon.
Speaker 2
Thats digusting. I'm a grad student and live in a dorm so I can relate.
Speaker 1
We're on the beach at least, and ride horses to clear my mind. You?
Speaker 2
I live with my dad. He.
Speaker 1
Oh, do you plan on moving out soon. I'm planning on moving to the country.
Speaker 2
Only after college. When I'm home during the summer all he does is play piano.
Speaker 1
Do you have any hobbies, play with him?
Speaker 2
Nah, he's a pro and I'm horrible. My hobby is pets. I own 6 of them.
Speaker 1
Do you know what kind of pets?
Speaker 2
A snake, sugarglider, 2 cats, a peruvian guinea pig and a pigeon.
Speaker 1
Wow, do you have any siblings like me?
Speaker 2
Only one. She's as nasty as that guinea. No wonder they eat the down in peru.

Speaker 1
How difficult is it to take care of 6 pets?  I feel like maintaining 6 pets would take up most of your free time.
Speaker 2
There is a lot of work involved, but it helps relieve my depression, and makes me feel useful and needed to be responsible for their care. I know horses aren't considered pets, but do you own any horses?
Speaker 1
There's nothing quite like unconditional love, huh? Your pets must be worth all the time and money you spend. It's crazy to own a horse in the city, hence why I'm moving away from here. 
Speaker 2
I love the country living lifesyle! I'm jealous of you that you get to move away from the city. But you're right, the unconditional love we get from animals is really unbeatable.  Compared to how humans treat each other sometimes, it seems the bond between humans and animals is very special.
Speaker 1
That look of happiness and adoration from another living being is worth chasing... I'll have to invite you out there at some point. You'll definitely need a pet sitter though!
Speaker 2
Actually I don't need a pet sitter, as long as you allow me to bring my pets, because they surprisingly all travel well.  They love to go with me when I'm driving. I think they consider it an adventure every time they get to leave the house, even if it is only to go down the street. Do you have any idea when you will be moving? Have you set a date firmly already?
Speaker 1
Oh, that's perfect. I'm already starting to move my things so it's looking like your winter break will be a great time to come visit.
Speaker 2
Absolutely! Hey, do you need any help with moving your stuff? I have a pickup truck, so me and my pets could get out of the house and help you move if you need any help.
Speaker 1
I welcome the help and the cuteness!! You'll probably save me from blowing my back out too. Surprisingly, none of my brothers and sisters are willing to help.
Speaker 2
Oh that's a shame!  Well just say the word, and I'll be on my way to come get you and some more of your belongings to move them. And I could meet your family. I've never met anyone with even half as many siblings as you have. That must have been crazy growing up in a family like that.
Speaker 1
The sibling battles were unreal! I'll be glad to finally have my own space. You and your pets are all more than welcome to come visit me anytime you can get away from school.
Speaker 2
Great. I only go to class Monday through Thursday, so I could come as soon as this Friday if that sounds good to you.

Speaker 1
I am ready for your help so if you still can will you be here Thursday night or Friday morning?
Speaker 2
That is no problem. I will definitely be there. Just need to get someone to take care of my pets. Do you have any pets at home?
Speaker 1
No.  Just a horse that we stable.  You are welcome to bring your pets with you if you like!  My brothers and sisters would love them.
Speaker 2
Oh, that would be wonderful. Maybe when we have time, you can take me horseback riding also. How is the beach weather?
Speaker 1
That will be great! Especially when I'm able to have the horse with me!  The beach is wonderful as always.  It's starting to get a little crowded though.
Speaker 2
I've been so depressed lately. Going over to help you out would help me get out of it. As much as I love the country, the city live is lots of fun. Will you miss the city?
Speaker 1
Not that much.  I'll still live close enough I can go visit the city and the beach whenever I want. It will be strange living alone though after growing up in such a huge family. I hope the visit cheers you up!
Speaker 2
As long as I can bring my pets, they really help me get out of the day in and day out rut. Do you still need for me to bring my pickup truck for the move?
Speaker 1
Yes, that would be really helpful!  I truly appreciate it.  Then if we have time, we can go to the beach for a while.  That would make you feel better too!
Speaker 2
Oh, absolutely! I'm really looking forward to that. I've got to clear out all the junk I have in my truck then. We won't be able to move much if I leave all my junk in it. Can't wait to see you!
Speaker 1
Same here!  It'll be nice to introduce you to my family.  
Speaker 2
It might take all day to meet everyone, especially sine you have such a large family. Ar Ar! Wow a dozen brothers and sisters. Is that twelve of each or 12 total?

Speaker 1
What classes are you currently taking for your graduate program?
Speaker 2
I will take math classes this summer. Do you have any plans for this summer ?
Speaker 1
Uggg! Math was never my strong subject. But good luck to you! I don't have any set plans for the summer. Just settling down after the move. Lots to unpack
Speaker 2
Math can be fun, but there is a lot to learn before you start having fun with it. So you will take care of your horses all summer ?
Speaker 1
I guess I never really had a good teacher to help me get started. I don't have a good foundation for it. Yes, the horses will be primary for me. I'm really looking forward to just it being me and the horses. They're pretty quite most of the time.
Speaker 2
Do you have to ride them everyday, even in the rain ?
Speaker 1
No, I don't have to ride them everyday. Sometimes I can just turn them out into the paddock and they can get their own exercise. But they do like to get out and about most days. I think they really enjoy it when I ride them. To change the topic, how are you doing? 
Speaker 2
Good, but it is hot in the dorm in the summer.
Speaker 1
I can imagine. I'm glad you're doing good. I do worry about you and your depression. I wish there was something I could do to help you. Please know that you're welcome to come and visit and ride with me at any time.
Speaker 2
Thanks, but for the moment, my pets are enough, I am sure that your horses help you with your moral.
Speaker 1
That's great news. I'm glad you have them. Yes, the horses help me quiet my mind. It's just us out on the trail. Very peaceful. 
Speaker 2
Maybe we could meet up in the country ? I would like to see your horses.

Speaker 1
Has the heat passed? I hope your pets don't suffer too much from it!
Speaker 2
Yea, I think it wasn't too warm for them. How is the horse handling it?
Speaker 1
That's good.  He seems okay.  I hose him down with water sometimes.  He seems to like that.
Speaker 2
Yea, that will definetly cool him down! I've been putting out the kiddie pool for the animals, they're a good distraction.
Speaker 1
Oh that sounds like fun.  Yea the animals definitely keep us focused on caring for them so it's easier to forget about our personal problems.  I just go ride my horse and forget about the real world, you know?
Speaker 2
Yea, they really do help. Even if it's just taking them works or other simply tasks It makes you focus on something else. Is the horse a nice distraction from all those siblings?
Speaker 1
Haha yea - my family can be crazy at times. It's also a lot of fun during the holidays though because we get to enjoy such large gatherings.  Do you like just having the one sister?
Speaker 2
It has it's ups and downs, especially with her being a teacher I don't get as much time to spend with her, I'm sure having more siblings means there's always someone to hang around with?
Speaker 1
Yea that's what's so great about it.  Many of us are very close and spend a lot of time together.
Speaker 2
Yea, I'm close with my sister but it would be great if we could spend more time together! Do you get a long with all your siblings or just most of them?
Speaker 1
Most of them.  I feel like each of us have a few we're super close to and then some who we just don't get along with as well.  Some of them are  much younger than me so they're in different states in life.  I'm closest to my sister who is just a year apart from me.
Speaker 2
Yea, that makes sense. I feel like sisters that are similar in age are the easiest to get along with! I guess you find that sister the most relaitable and understandable?
