| Tatiana | I’m so sad that Yuliana is leaving us next week. |
|---|---|
| Pei-Jean | Well, it is true that she’ll be leaving us for one year, but she’ll be back. She’s just going on mat leave. That’s what happens when you have a bun in the oven! |
| Tatiana | I guess the new baby will really spice up things up at Yuliana’s house. It’s so exciting. She’ll be missed, though. She really is the cream of the crop! |
| Pei-Jean | You can say that again! She’s always cool as a cucumber, and she can make even difficult tasks look like a piece of cake. |
| Tatiana | For sure. She’s one smart cookie! |
| Pei-Jean | Uh huh! |
