口语连载12：Bob's big cookie order
The family is gathered around the dinner table. Bob tells them about his deal with the Village Market. He asks his kids for help baking the cookies.Bob: I know I've been down in the dumps since I got fired, but things are looking up now. The Village Market wants to sell our cookies.
Nicole: That's great news, Dad!
Bob: We're going to have to bake like crazy over the weekend. They want 2,000 cookies by Monday.
Nicole: Two thousand cookies in three days? Don't you think you've bitten off more than you can chew?
Ted: Yeah, you're going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off!
Susan: Fortunately, there are four of us here. You kids will have to pitch in too.
Nicole: Sorry, but I can't. I have to finish Ted's chemistry homework and then I've got to get going on my election speech.
Bob: What's that about doing Ted's chemistry homework?
Ted: Never mind! Amber will help out with the cookies instead of Nicole.
Susan: For heaven's sake, Nicole! It's like pulling teeth getting you to do any work around here.
