Anna:
Well. Good morning, Ben. You're up early today.
Ben:
Yeah, my alarm went off at 6:30. I usually hit snooze, but I decided to get up right away.
Anna:
Nice. What's the first thing you usually do in the morning, like when you're back at school?
Ben:
Honestly, I check my phone, and then I wash my face and brush my teeth. You know, the usual boring stuff. What about you?
Anna:
Well, I try not to look at my phone right away because it makes me sad. And it also gives me time to stretch for a few minutes. Get ready for the day.
Ben:
Well, stretching is a good way to start your day.
Anna:
Do you usually eat breakfast? I can make us something.
Ben:
Well, sometimes. I mean, if I'm in a rush, I just grab some toast or fruit, but on weekends, I make eggs or pancakes.
Anna:
Oh, okay. Yeah. Personally, I usually have cereal or yogurt with fruit. Gives me energy, but I don't make anything fancy, normally.
Ben:
Well, that makes sense. I'm always running late, too.
Anna:
Same here. My mornings always feel too rushed.
Ben:
Right. Well, I think the rest of the family will be up soon. Then, we can plan our day.
