1.  

I've been thinking, we should totally go on a picnic soon.

> Sure, that sounds fun.

OK, so I'm just looking right now at airplane tickets to New York City for our trip. There's two options, it looks like. There's a flight that leaves at 7 a.m. and one that leaves at 1 p.m. I'm leaning towards the 7 a.m. option. What do you think?

> Hmm, don't you think it'd be better if we took the afternoon flight? That way we wouldn't have to wake up so early.

OK, I'll book at the tickets for the afternoon flight, then.
