Brett is having a picnic with Missy's family. (Brett=B, Missy=M)
B: This potato salad is delicious. Did your mum make it?
M: No. Elliot did. He's studying to be a cook.
B: That's cool. Your brother looks cool too. However, he looks nothing like you or your parents.
M: Many people say that. He takes after my grandfather on my mum's side.
B: I see. Also, you look just like your mother. You two could be sisters.
M: Thanks. How about you? Who do you look like?
B: I look like both my parents. I have my dad's nose and my mum's eyes.

Missy and Brett keep talking about their families.
M: So, you have both your parents' looks. What about their personalities?
B: Sometimes, I'm quiet like my dad, but other times, I'm talkative like my mum.
M: I like your mum. She's very friendly and easy-going. Mine's nothing like that.
B: Of course, she is. You just think she isn't because she's hard on you.
M: Hmm, maybe.
B: My dad's hard on me too. He hopes that I can be more confident like him.
M: I know the feeling, but it is a good quality to have.
B: Yeah, I know.
