“Maybe you’ll take one of them?” “Uh-huh,” I said, though I had no idea what an elective was.
“So, are you ready to take a tour?” “You mean we’re doing that now?” I said.
“Did you think we were going to the movies?” he answered, smiling as he stood up.

“I promise.” I think he wanted me to take his hand, but I took Mom’s instead.
He smiled and started walking toward the entrance. Mommy gave my hand a little squeeze,
