ESL Podcast 343 � Being Alike and Different

Fabian: Oh, your babies are adorable. They�re like two peas in a pod.

Clarissa: They may look like mirror images of each other, but they�re nothing alike. They each have their distinct personalities. Randy likes to sleep during the day and Dominic likes to sleep at night.

Fabian: That�s like my babies at home. They�re polar opposites. They don�t like eating the same foods and they have clashing personalities.

Clarissa: Oh, really? Does that cause problems?

Fabian: Yes, sometimes it does. One is playful all the time and the other one is always pensive. They get on each other�s nerves more often than not. I can�t believe they have the same parents.

Clarissa: You�re telling me! I sometimes wonder how two babies born at the same time can be so different.

[barking sound] Oh, my precious little babies are hungry. We�d better get home so they can eat.

Fabian: I�d better get home to mine. They�ll be crawling up the walls if I don�t get back soon with their treats!
