E: Gareth, I think we’re going to have to buy Sam a new school
uniform this summer. He’s grown out of his old one.

G: What, already? Didn’t we buy him one last year too?

E: Yes, but he’s shot up in the last six months, so his shorts are
too tight and his shirt is so short he’s almost showing his belly
button!

G: What are you doing, soaking his feet in fertiliser or something?

E: Actually, now that you mention feet, he’s going to need a new
pair of shoes too. He says the pair he has now are too small.

G: And how much is this going to put us back?

E: Well, we’ll have to get him two of everything, and if you add a
new pair of shoes, too, I guess that’ll come to around $200.

G: $200?! Well make sure you buy the stuff a size bigger than he
needs. The way he’s growing he’ll need the extra room. The
last thing I want to do is to have to fork out for another uniform
again next year!
