Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: to call dibs Hey, do you guys wanna go to the lake? Yeah!! Dibs on the front seat! Aw~ You always get the front seat. You need to call dibs! Hi everyone!! Do you know what jelly beans are? If not, GOOGLE jelly beans right now! They're a small (like a bean) chewy candy. You chew them and they taste great. When I was young, there were only a few flavors. There was orange, cherry, lime, lemon, vanilla and black licorice. My ABSOLUTE favorite was...ORANGE!! Unfortunately, almost everyone else loved orange, too. So, when someone was about to open a bag of jelly beans, I was always the FIRST person to "say something" so that ONLY I could eat the orange jelly beans!! It's true. What were those magic words? I will teach you today^^ Oh, and I still use this expression when I think someone wants the same thing I want!! It still works like magic!

0:42.3	yours. You can have it. Do you understand what this means? So this is the idea. Let's say you're a
0:50.9	student. You're a young student and you and your friend get on the bus first. You're the
0:57.8	first ones on the bus. Now, do you want to sit in the front or do you want to sit in the back or in the
1:03.9	middle? Anyway, as you're running onto the bus, you worry that your friend is going to take your seat.
1:14.3	So you say, I got dibs in the back seat.
1:18.3	I got dibs on the back seat.
1:24.0	And in that situation, you can sit in the back seat because you are the owner.
1:32.5	Right.
1:34.2	Another example.
1:36.0	There's a birthday cake.
1:37.5	It's a nice, beautiful birthday cake.
1:39.9	And in the middle is a big piece of chocolate that says, I don't know, it's a star.
1:46.5	It's a star.
