shoes.

I called a student's house today because I wanted to her parents about her progress. She is one of my brightest students, but is getting progressively worse as the year goes on. When I called a small child picked up. He sounded around 4 or 5 years old:

"Hi!"

"Hi. can I speak to Ms. Hardy?"

"Who that?"

"Is you mommy home? Can I speak to your mommy?"

"No she not home. She went to buy shoes."

"Well, is there anybody else home that I can talk to?"

"Nobody home."

"Nobody's home? Are you there by yourself?"

"Uh huh. Goodbye!"
