Talking About a Past Event

A

Mike! Hey, how are you, man! Long time no see!

B

Hey, Pat! Yeah, I haven’t seen you in ages! How are you?

A

I’m doing great! It’s funny running into you like this. Just last week I ran into Matt as well.

B

Yeah? How’s he doing?

A

He’s doing well. We went out for a couple of beers and the funniest thing happened.

B

Oh yeah?

A

Well, we were talking and catching up on what we’ve been doing, talking about work and family, when all of a sudden, Matt saw a mouse run under his chair and he completely lost it! He started freaking out, and screaming...

B

Ha ha, really?

A

Yeah, and the funniest thing was, that he jumped on to his chair and started shrieking like a girl. You had to be there! Everyone was staring and laughing... it was hilarious!
