Chris:  So, I was surfing the web and I saw this website for a band called Fat Old Dad.

Derek:  Fat Old Dad, huh? I’ve not heard of them.

Chris:  Yeah, I haven’t heard of ‘em either. Wanna go check ‘em out? They’re playing a concert next Friday at the Aladdin.

Derek:  I don’t know. Um, a band like that. Let’s see. With a name like that, I guess I can give ‘em a shot. See how they sound.

Chris:  Well, the one thing I’m worried about is that they’re gonna sound like music my dad likes. And I don’t really like that kinda music.

Derek:  Yeah. I guess that could be understandable.

Chris:  And what do they look like on stage? Are they really fat, old dads? Or is that just a band name to attract people to come to their shows?

Derek:  That’s, well, I would hope not. Cause that wouldn’t attract too many people, I would think, so.

Chris:  I don’t think so either. Oh well. Let’s go check ‘em out.

Derek:  All right.
