AFTER YOU READ:

What did you use to do in your vacations when you were a child?

Jeff: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?

Kim: Yeah. That’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer.

Jeff: Wow, I bet that was fun!

Kim: Yeah, we always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I had a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic!

Jeff: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!
