Talk.
Every morning at work, this cleaning lady goes to every cubicle and empties the dustbin. When she comes to mine, this happens:
In mandarin
I say: Auntie, good morning!
She says: Good morning! Going to have tea soon, yes?
I say: Yea soon, tea-lady is coming!
She says: Not so early. She'll come by at around 10.20 a.m.
A couple of days ago, as I was climbing up the staircase to go to the ladies, I realised the conversation between the cleaning lady and I is almost the same everyday. I wonder how I managed to say the same old things everyday to her, with the same level of enthusiasm. How did she manage to say the same old things back?
