Conversation Talking about family

Jack: Hi Sam. How’s it going?
Sam: Good. How are you?
Jack: Fine, thanks. Hey, is that the new version of Game of Kings?
Sam: Yeah, do you want to play? It’s great!
Jack: Oh! You can’t buy that here! Where did you get it?
Sam: From my brother. He sent it to me.
Jack: What? Charlie?
Sam: No, my other brother, Rob. He lives in the States ... in New York.
Jack: Really? I didn’t know you had another brother!
Sam: Yeah! Well, he’s my half-brother.
Jack: But ... I don’t get it ...
Sam: He’s my dad’s son. My dad went to New York to study and married an American.
Jack: Your mum’s American?!
Sam: No, no, not my mum. That was ages ago ... before he met my mum.
Jack: Ah, OK, I get it now. Wow, I didn’t know that! So, how old is your half-brother?
Sam: Er, he’s five years older than me, so he’s twenty-three.
Jack: Cool. And do you see him often?
Sam: Not very often ... I’ve been to visit him twice. Well, three times, but the first time I don’t remember because I was really little. But we speak on Skype a lot.
Jack: And have you met Rob’s mum?
Sam: Yeah. She’s really nice. She’s from Mexico originally. She’s married to someone else now.
Jack: And what does your mum think?
Sam: Er ... she’s fine about it! She knew my dad was divorced and had a son.
Jack: Huh ... OK.
Sam: OK, enough questions. Do you want to play Game of Kings or what?
Jack: Yeah, cool.
