Teenagers

While on the phone with Richard, my cell phone rang. I figured it was Chris calling to be picked up from track practice. Chris told me that they didn't have practice and asked me to come pick up his stuff.

"Your stuff?" I said. "Not you but your stuff?"

"Yeah, I wanna run home."

"Well, your father is still at school. Maybe he could bring home your stuff? Wait, I've got him on the other phone. Let me ask him."

So we worked it out. Chris has the combination to Richard's truck lock, so he can drop his stuff in the truck and then run home.

Then I start to think about this whole conversation. Did Chris really forget that his dad is at his school? Did he really think I wanted to come up to school to pick up his STUFF? Good grief. Think it through, man!
