Last month M called. He called to tell me that he had a good day at school. I congratulated him but could sense there was something more. It turns out that he wanted to ask me to buy Rodrick Rules. There is no way I’m not getting him this book, so I tell him. Then I read him some blogs I wrote about our conversations.
M: Very good. I can see me in it. You put in good details.
He sounds so much like a teacher, I crack up on the spot.
