Been there, done that…
Conversation between oldest grandchild (F) now in kindergarten and The Rookie:
The Rookie: Do you have any buddies at school?
F: Yes, (a boy) is my buddy. We sit together on the bus.
The Rookie: Do you have any other buddies?
F: I want (a girl) to be my buddy too, but it’s not working.
The Rookie: Why is it not working?
F: I haven’t asked her.
The Rookie(desperately trying not to laugh): Why don’t you ask her?
F: Grrrrr. (The normal response when he doesn’t want to answer) :-)
