Woman I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep at all
last night.
Man Was there something wrong?
Were you worrying about
something?
Woman No, I don’t know why. Well, I do,
but you’ll think I’m mad.
Man I’m sure I won’t.
Woman Well, I was making the bed
yesterday when my friend
phoned to ask if I wanted to go
shopping with her. So I put on
my hat and went out. I finished
making the bed when I came
home. So I’m sure that’s why I
wasn’t able to sleep.
Man Well, I’ve never heard of that
superstition before. Who told you
that?
Woman I heard it from my grandmother
when I was small.
