Dustin: Have you had breakfast yet?
Greg: No, I haven’t. Have you?
Dustin: Me neither. I wasn’t feeling hungry.
Greg: I do. Would you mind if I prepare something to eat while we are talking?
Dustin: Not at all. What will you be having?
Greg: I feel like having some waffles, they are quick to prepare; just dropping them into the toaster and breakfast is ready.
Dustin: Waffles? Can you make some for me too? I love waffles.
Greg: No problem. We’ll eat them with banana and syrup. It’s delicious.
Dustin: I can’t wait.
