"Well, this is new"
"Of course it is. You refused to go anywhere we've been before!"
"And what's wrong with a little wanderlust? It's a rarity in our stage in life."
"Sure. Wander away. Just remember, these curtains aren't as good as the ones in the place we were in during our 10th anniversary"
"I don't agree. Although, I will say that these big glass windows give me the creeps. So much for the peace and calm they advertise."
"Oh, stop being so cynical. We may as well enjoy it here."
"As long as the food is good!"
"Of course it will be. Although I daresay, I would rather cook you a roast for your 50th birthday next week."
"Hmm. I have a feeling that this is where I want to spend my 50th birthday. Not like that old place, with mouldy walls and over-starched bed sheets. It's comfortable here"
"And what makes you think you're celebrating you're birthday anywhere else but at home?"
"Tradition, honey! It's been 20 years since I had a birthday at home. I hardly remember it."
"Add to that our children's birthdays, Matthew's graduation, Amy's first car and our 25th anniversary. The list doesn't end."
"Maybe it does. Maybe this year is the last of all of that. I'm too tired to keep this up. Sometimes I refuse to believe that this is what we've done to our lives."
"Oh, nonsense. I turn 50 in a year and even then, we'll be on the move. And I would rather have this than no life at all."
"Umm, excuse me. It's time for your daily blood work. Can I have you both in your beds please?"
"Of course it is. You refused to go anywhere we've been before!"
