Mum: What? Do you have any idea how early that is?

Mum: Interesting. Can I have a look at this list?
Tom: Sure. I’ll send you the link.

Mum: I like the idea of this list. Anything that gets you off your computer and out into the real world离开电脑，走到真实世界里, well, it must be good.

Mum: And take a picnic with us. Sounds like a really good idea.
Tom: Thanks, Mum.
Mum: You get to tick things off your list把清单上的事情打勾完成 and I get to spend some time with you!
