Leo: Grandma?
Grandma: Yes, Leo.
Leo: Could I ask you some questions
a school project? We’re collecting biographies of our parents and grandparents. I need to give a presentation on the life of someone in my family, and I want to talk
your life.
Grandma: I see. Well, I guess so, but I’m not sure my life

Leo: First, where
born?
Grandma: In Germany. I came to this country when I was
years old.
Leo: Really? Have you
back?
Grandma: To Germany?
Leo: Yes.
Grandma: Oh, yes. Several times.
Leo: Where else
lived?
Grandma: Well, of course here, in the United States. Oh, and your grandfather and I lived in Mexico
short time. That was just after we got married.
Leo: I didn’t know that! Can you
Spanish?
Grandma: A little, sure.
Leo: Cool. When
Grandpa?
Grandma: Oh, I met your grandfather when I was 22 years old. We met at his sister’s house. She was a close friend
. She still is. That’s your Aunt Joyce.
Leo: OK, next question. What’s something interesting
done?
Grandma: Something interesting? Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything
interesting.
Leo: Come on. Everyone’s done
interesting.
Grandma: Let me think. Oh, how about this? I once met the famous artist
Picasso.

a café. I went up to him and said hello. He was
nice.

questions?

more...
