history: I went out to dinner with my mom a couple of days ago and she paid for the meal. I invited my mom out to dinner the other night_comma_ because we haven't seen other in a while. I was all willing to pay_comma_ since I invited her_comma_ but she stole the check and paid for it instead.  Wow! That must've been a surprise 
current: It was! I thanked her and said that I could get it next time we went out. 
next: She must've really enjoyed the time. Where did you guys go out to eat? Was it nice?
