I got off the airplane [ Je suis descendu de l'avion ] in Seattle, Washington. I went to meet my sister. She was waiting at the arrivals area. I walked with her to the car. I didn’t have my wallet. I got on the airplane [ Je suis monté dans l'avion ] in Amsterdam. I thought I put it in my jacket pocket. I am getting on in my years [ J'avance dans mes années ] . Was my memory good?

My sister moved to a new house. She was driving me to her new house. She lives there with her daughters. Both her daughters have partners. We got off the freeway [ On est sorti de l'autoroute ] . I asked her, “How are you getting on with the kids [ Comment ça va avec les enfants ] ?”

She replied, “I’m getting on really well [ Je m'en sors très bien ] . But, I need to get off their backs [ J’ai besoin d’alléger leur fardeau ] . I think they work too much.”

We arrived at the new home. I needed to get on zoom [ d'accéder à zoom ] . I use zoom for online meetings. She asked me, “How are you getting on with your new boss [ Comment ça se passe avec ton nouveau patron ] ?”

We entered the house. I said, “I got off lightly [ Je m'en suis sorti légèrement ] with a warning from my boss.”

“Why? What happened?” she asked.

“I forgot to include something in a report.” I looked down at my shoes. I said, “Oh no. Look at the mud I got on my shoes [ que j'ai sur mes chaussures ] .”

My sister said, “Don’t worry. Go to your meeting. Take off your shoes. I’ll get off the mud [ Je vais enlever la boue ] .”

I removed my shoes. Then, I went to the kitchen table for my meeting. 

My sister said, “I’ll be back. I need to get a package off [ envoyer un colis ] to a friend.”

I sat at the table. I noticed some pill containers in the kitchen. My sister came back. I asked, “Who is on medication?”

She replied, “Tina had a hernia operation. She was on painkillers. But, she got off them [ elle ne les prend plus ] .”

I remembered something. Tina liked to ride horses. I was curious. “Has she gotten back on her horse [ est-elle remontée sur son cheval ] ?”

“Not yet, maybe in a few weeks.” She put the pills in a cabinet.

My meeting ended. I’ll get on with my visit [ Je vais continuer ma visite ] . I was looking forward to spending time with them.
