#2 just called from school. Mom, can you bring $8 to school so I can buy dance tickets? (Tickets only cost $4 each.)
It seems there is a girl in class with #2, he asked her to the dance and is buying her ticket.
His description of her? Streaky hair, blue eyes and a foot taller than he is.
I remember that age, where most of the girls are taller than the boys, and the sweaty palm feeling of a first crush.
