Emma: You know, its kind of strange but I like the sound of the air conditioner.
Luke: Yeah, and the feel of it too.
Emma: And the feel of the air conditioner.
Luke: It, it gets kind of hot without it.
Emma: Yeah. But I like going outside when its 100 degrees and then you come inside and you can feel the air conditioner.
Luke: It is very refreshing.
Emma: Although its not supposed to be good for your body when you do that. When you go from extreme temperatures; extreme hot to extreme cold.
Luke: I can see that, yeah. It does it does feel good though.
Emma: It does.
Luke: Whenever I think of summer, I think of the, the little freeze pops that you put in the freezer.
Emma: Oh, the the juice. Its like the fruit flavored juice pops.
Luke: Yep.
Emma: The frozen ones.
Luke: Yep. And you have like, grape and orange and lemon and whatever the green flavor is supposed to be.
Emma: No one knows what that green flavor is. Apple?
Luke: I think, I think, I think so?
Emma: Green flavor?

Luke: Yep. Classic.
Emma: Classic. How ‘bout you?
Luke. I I I like chocolate.
Emma: Chocolate is good.
Luke: Although, the the Neapolitan too where you just like you can’t make up your mind so sometimes you want the vanilla, sometimes you want chocolate and then the strawberry.

Luke: I see.
Emma: Its like how we had the green flavor. Strawberry-
Luke: Right.
