Paula Cute! How old were you?

Emilio I don’t know. Two?

Paula And where were you? Were you at home?

Emilio No, I wasn’t, because our phone was black. Hmm… so where was the green phone? Oh, yeah! It was at my grandparents’ house, in the kitchen.

Paula Hey, I remember our old phone, too. It was white.

Emilio Wow, you remember the color, too! Was it big? Our old phone was really big.
