| Megan: Have you ever been kicked out of a place? Wendy: No, I haven’t. Have you? Megan: Never. But my brother told me that he and his friends got kicked out of a restaurant last night. Wendy: Why did they get booted from the restaurant? Megan: He said that they had to leave because they were being too noisy. He claims that they were not being that noisy and that the manager of the restaurant overreacted. Wendy: Do you believe your brother? Megan: Not at all. I know him and his friends. They are very noisy when they get together. I’m sure the manager had a good reason for kicking them out. | |
