Showing Immaturity 

Romero: Are you going to tell Amber1 that she can’t have Saturday off of work or should I? 

Alice: You’d better tell her. I don’t think she’s going to take it well. 

Romero: I’ll do it, but I’m not looking forward to it. She can be really immature2 when she doesn’t get what she wants. 

Alice: Yeah, that’s why I don’t like working with her. If things don’t go her way, she pouts3 and whines4. I don’t know why they don’t fire her. 

Romero: I think she’s just a little inexperienced. This is her first job, after all. Some of her behavior is pretty childish, but when she’s not kicking up a fuss or moaning about something, she does good work. 

Alice: That’s like saying somebody is a good worker when they’re not napping! 

Romero: She’s not that bad, but we do have to look past some juvenile5 antics when our employees are so young. 

Alice: Yeah, too bad we can’t have seniors selling to teenagers. 

Romero: I think that would open a whole different can of worms!
