Process of elimination
Miles is his class’s “Star of the Week” this week, and all weekend he was so excited to go to school on Monday. Unfortunately, late Sunday night, I heard the sounds of vomiting coming from the boys’ shared room. Later, I recounted my thoughts on the topic to the boys.
A: When I heard it, I thought, “I hope it’s Tobin.” Not that I want you to be sick, of course. I never want any of you to be sick. I just knew how much Miles wanted to go to school.
T:Â I hoped it was Miles.
