First Day in Miami (45 or so left)...
Today, as I was getting ready to leave my parents' monster house (after a 5 hour power nap) I get a phone call with a blocked caller ID. The conversation goes as follows:
Me: Hello?
Voice: Hello?
Me: Yes?
Voice: Who is this?
Me: (state my name).
Voice: Oh. Hi Mr. Reiser. It's me. It's Alter Wieder (a former 4th grade student of mine).
Me: Hi, Alter! What can I do for you?
Alter: Nothing. I'm here with Shlomo and he asked me if I missed you and I said, "I don't know. Let's call him and find out."
Me: Well? Do you miss me?
Alter: I don't know. Here's Shlomo.
Shlomo: Hello?
Me: Hi, SHlomo.
Shlomo: My brother got engaged.
Me: Mazel Tov! Where's the (wedding) going to be?
Shlomo: In Monsey (New York).
Me: Are you inviting me?
Shlomo: Okay. Where should I send it.
Me: (Give address).
Shlomo: Okay. Bye.
If only my conversations with adults went half as well as that.
Me: Hello?
Voice: Hello?
