Linda

You were extremely messy!!!

Cathy

True. And I didn’t realise how messy I was 

and how much it bothered my little sister, until 

one day I was sunbathing in the back garden 

and all my clothes came floating out of the 

upstairs window.

Linda 

Yes, I’m afraid I threw all my sister’s things 

that were on the floor out of the window. The 

garden was covered with them!

Cathy

I ran upstairs and we had an argument, but I 

did try to be tidier after that.

Linda

You did. And the funny thing is, that when we 

studied at university, we chose to share a flat 

together! And you’re quite tidy now, aren’t 

you?

Cathy

Yep, fortunately I’ve improved since then!
