Text 3 - Responsibilities:
[spoken in southern accent]
A: I hear your grandchildren and Mrs. Taylor's boys had a narrow escape at the beach last Sunday Mrs. Smith.
B: They certainly did.
A: The tide comes into those little bays at Ladrom [not sure about this name] so quickly that it's really too dangerous for small children. They could've been drowned.
B: It just goes to show you that you; one can't be too careful when children are involved. One has to keep ones eyes on them the whole time.
A: Yes, you wouldn't think anything like that could happen. But you only have to shut your eyes for a few minutes. When they asked if they could go and explore, we never dreamed it could be dangerous.
B: It was lucky you were able to find that man with the motor boat wasn't it?
A: Yes. And it was lucky that young Tommy is such a good swimmer for his age too.
B: Just think, if anything ever happened, one would never be able to forgive one's self. One would have it on one's conscience for the rest of one's life. Wouldn't one?
A: Yes, but you can't watch them every single minute of the day, whatever you do.
B: But one has to try if one takes one's responsibilities as a parent seriously. Don't you think [so]?
