Jeff: Hi, Martha. I heard that you have to leave work early. What's the problem? Martha: The school called. My son is six years old, and he's having a tough day at school. Jeff: Did something happen? Martha: Well, our doctor recently put him on a gluten-free diet. It means he can't eat a lot of things. He's a little confused about what to eat, but he's also shy. He won't ask his teachers for help. Jeff: So what happened today? Martha: There was a small party at the school, and he started crying and saying that he can't eat anything. Jeff: Is the diet really that strict? Martha: No. I don't enforce it absolutely. He's upset 'cause he's a kid, and it's a big change for him. Jeff: That is tough. I hope I won't ever have to go on a restricted diet. Martha: Me too. |
