Hans: Ok, now I am a teacher at Sunday School. Ok, so now I’ll give you all some cards so you can remember church, ok?
Jaeger: Ok. Thanks.
Hans: So, I gave those to you people so you know what church means.
Jaeger: <mumble, mumble> Is that what it said?
Hans: Yeah, well, you should just read it in your head.
Jaeger: Well, I need two because I lost mine.
Hans: Well, that one is just for your seven or eight year old.
Jaeger: Ok, well, I told them if they will break it I will have to put it up high.
Hans: Ok.
Jaeger: Can I get a new one, because they just tore it.
Hans: But they said they wouldn’t tear it.
Jaeger: But they just did.
Hans: Well, then, they just lied. Heh.
Jaeger: Yeah. Can I have another one?
Hans: Ok, here’s one that tells you how to get to church.
Jaeger: Ok, thanks. I will just treat it like a church, ok?
