"What stop sign?" asked Ramona."It was on the other street-the white car's side.Don't you remember?" said Ann.The discussion continued this way for the next five minutes,until the audience of increasingly impatient listeners dwindled down to one faithful friend.Ramona and Ann weren't trying to argue,but they couldn't seem to agree on anything.
