Talking Fast

I was talking to my sister on the phone and I heard my nephew speaking rapidly like he was in a rush. Then he got on the phone to wish me a happy new year. Afterwards, I told my sister that my nephew spoke so fast because he was afraid that she was going to leave home for her job. It was a joke. My sister laughed. My sister's job demands her to work long hours and travel abroad frequently. It's always great to be able to talk to her. I know how my nephew feels.
