stores are really convenient, aren't they? That's so true. They have everything you
need. Food, drinks, snacks, desserts, and so much more. And they're open every day, all the
time. That's really nice. Yes, it is. I go to convenience stores almost every day.
Really? Almost every day? Yes, about five or six times a week. >> [laughter]
>> That is a lot, but I understand. They are so useful and so easy to use. Exactly. You can always find what you
need there. I agree. I really had a wonderful time today. Me, too. I had a great time. Do
you want to do this again sometime? Yes, definitely. Let's go to a convenience store again next week.
That sounds great. Next time, I want to try some different things. Maybe some new snacks.
Me, too. I want to try the fried chicken next time. You said it was good, right? Yes, it's really good. You will love it,
I'm sure. I can't wait. I'm already excited about it.
Me, too. Okay, we should go home now. It's getting a little late. You're right. Okay, let's go home. Thank you
