A:Dude, does your dad have white hair?
D:White hair? No, he has gray hair.
A:I notice you have some gray hair too.
D:Shut up, I'm still young. Where's the closest mirror?
A:I'm kidding.
D:Ugh, I hate you.
In Chinese we say when a person gets older, they have "white hair".
In English we say "gray hair".
We can think about the other word "black tea". Well we call it "black tea" because the leaf, the color of the leaf is black. In China we call it "red tea" because the actual tea is red.

A:Hey dude, what's up?
D:Not much, just hanging out at my place.
A:You know, it's been a long time since we drank together.
D:Wow, you're right. It's been a whole 3 days.
A:Yeah, you wanna go to the bar?
D:Man, you read my mind!
For example, all day I'm carving, I really really wanna go eat spicy foods,but I'm just thinking to myself.
After the end of the day, my husband says, "Hey dear, do you wanna go eat spicy food?". Wow, how did he know that's exactly what I was thinking. He read my mind.
And there's a way to respond to "you read my mind". -"Well, great minds think alike."(英雄所见略同）
That's all for today.
