Overheard on the walk home

Alex is making friends at his new school. He was invited to join boy scouts (loves it!), started soccer, and joined a group of kids walking home.

One boy, Brock, approached me, "Excuse me, Alex's mom, can I have your phone number? I want to invite Alex to play at my house."

I happily obliged. A little girl even offered a handy piece of paper from her cute little notebook.

Brock was a bit ahead of Alex and I in the pack headed home. To another mother he said, "I got Alex's phone number. He's new to Park View and doesn't have very many friends. I'm going to invite him to play at my house."

I love Brock! He rocks!
