Telephone call
The girls on the call are talking about a specific dish saying how much they like it, suddenly
they remember the way the mother and the fly cook that it seems to be very tasty and
thus they trigger a conversation-debate about which is tastier that the mother cooks in
the case of Carolina and the grandmother in the case of Angie, they argue a little naming
dishes and in the end they end up buying the tickets to go visit them and have them taste
each other's food

This was the clearest example of interactional, because they are sharing and comparing
information that allows them to know a little more about the memories of the other, both
have an equal participation and importance in this conversation that is why it is
interactional
