Gaby:I try to wait up,but today was just too much.

Carlos:What happened?

Gaby:Well,the repairman finally showed up,but he didn't have the right part so he left again.Then Celie hid my car keys,I couldn't take her to the dentist.Then she forgot where she put them.I told them both they'd be sorry when their father got home except you didn't ···until now.

Carlod:I'm sorry,Gaby.

Gaby:It's okay.It's kind of funny when you think about it.

Carlod:What?

Gaby:My life.It just seems so small sometimes,I spend my days thinking about detergent and groceries or how I'm gonna get the spot out of the unholstery.It's not at all the life I thought I'd choose for myself,but some days,I look up and I realize I'm happy.I'm honest to god happy with my life.Anyway,I just thought you might like to know that.
