Just an Everyday Conversation
Cell Phone Boy and Red arrive at my house after school Monday. Immediately upon entering the house Cell Phone Boy says, "Guess what, Miss Faith?"
"What?"
"I can tie the cherry stem in a knot with my mouth!"
"Wow!" (what else could I possibly say?)
A short while later they are all in the kitchen looking for a snack. I inquire about which class they were in when the fire alarm went off at the high school that day. Actually it went off twice, so they were trying to tell me which class which time when. . .
"Cell Phone Boy's class set it off," declares Red.
"Really?"
It seems that a science experiment in Biology - yes, I said Biology- flamed and immediately following this incident the alarms began going off.
I pursue the conversation: "Who is your teacher?"
The response is my younger son's wrestling coach from last winter. Now I am really laughing.
"What did he do?"
"He was just smiling," responds Cell Phone Boy.
"His 'I am smiling so I don't kill you' smile or his laughing smile - because you know he has two smiles," I ask.
Cell Phone Boy gives me a knowing look and says, "Oh yeah, I know. I think he thought it was funny."
Just choosing to find the humor in every day. . .
