A simple conversation


J: (10, a fourth grader): Hi, Miss R---------.
Me: Hi J-------.
J: (Pauses, just stands next to me as I am working on the computer).
Me: What's up?
J: I have a football game tomorrow.
Me: Ohhh.
J: It's at St. Ignatius.
Me: On the big field?  The turf?
J: It's a 2:30.
Me: Ah.
J: You could come, if you want.
Me: I would love to come. I will try to get there a little early so that I can see you without your helmet on.
J: Like 12:30?  That's when we are getting there.
Me: No, more like 2:15.
J: Oh, ok.
Me: What number do you wear so I can find you?
J: Um...it's in the 90's.
Me: (Laughing) Ok, I will look for you.
J: Thanks, Miss R-----------.  I am really glad you'll be there.
Me: Me too, buddy.  Me too.
