When my mother’s gone, my dad says, “So, son, why don’t you just ask Juli?”
“Dad!” “It’s just a little question, Bryce. No harm, no foul.”
“But it’ll get me a half-hour answer!” He studies me for a minute, then says, “No boy should be this afraid of a girl.”
I’m not afraid of her…!” “I think you are.” “Dad!
Seriously, son. I want you to get us an answer. Conquer your fear and get us an answer.”
To whether or not they have a rooster?” “That’s right.”
He gets up and clears his cereal bowl, saying, “I’ve got to get to work and you’ve got to get to school. I’ll expect a report tonight.”
Great. Just great. The day was doomed before it had started.

“Well, she lives right across the street from you, right?” “Yeah, so?”
“So just go look over the fence.” “You mean spy?” “Sure.”
