    Hello, Yanis. How was your trip back to Greece?<br />Hi, Susan. It was fantastic. Everything was as it used to be.<br />I can't believe it's been four decades.<br />You came over from Greece when you were seventeen and started out working right away.<br />And I worked really hard so that I supported my parents and put my brother through college.<br />Now look at you. You have a beautiful family here in New York.<br />Yes, but I'm worrying about my kids now. They have everything they want, but they don't appreciate anything.<br />I understand. Well, just so you know, we Americans cut our kids off when they're eighteen.<br />And that's probably for the best.<br />We're proud to do so, so why don't you try?<br />I wish I could, but we're Greek. They're ours until they're married.<br />Hello, Yanis. How was your trip back to Greece?<br />Hi, Susan. It was fantastic. Everything was as it used to be.
