- Steve, what do you think I should prepare for the party?

- I’m not going to force you to do it, but I really think you should make that great pecan pie. Everyone raves about it when you cook it.

- Oh. I figured you’d have me make that darned pie! I just made it for the get-together last week. You can’t really want me to cook it again? Isn’t there something else that I’m capable of cooking, that you might like?

- Well, I guess I can’t convince you to make that pie, no matter how much I try to encourage you to do so. I know I can’t get you to make a peanut butter dish, because you think peanut butter is too fattening. So how ‘bout that lemon-lime concoction that you made a few parties back?

- Oh, I don’t think I should make that. It contains gluten, and Josh has an allergy which doesn’t allow him to make gluten.

- Ok, ok. How about something with berries? It’s springtime after all. Somethin’ with berries could be nice and refreshing.

- Hm, berries. Maybe cheesecake with berries on top?

- Bingo! That’s just what I’m in the mood for, actually.

- Ok, you’ve persuaded me; I will make that.

- Great. Will you permit me to help you in some way? Maybe I can run to the store and pick something up?

- Sure, I think I can employ you. I already have the cheesecake mix, but I can use some berries. Will you get some? Whatever you think is best, though I’d vote for strawberries.

- Alright. I’ll go there now, and I’ll be back in a jiffy.
