The other day TJ, our neighbor boy, came to the door and asked Mark to play. Mark turned him down so TJ asked for Anjali. Mark walked upstairs and called to Anjali, "Anjali your friend is here!" And when Anjali asked, "Who is it?" Mark replied, "Hodan" who is Anjali's favorite friend on the block.
Tim and I burst into laughter. We could so clearly see the wheels turning in his mind. What especially cracked me up is that TJ is a stocky, Italian first grader and Hodan is a tall, lithe, Somali girl in a hijab. Ooops, my mistake. I thought it was Hodan!
Not.
