An Evening Conversation

Thursday, March 10, 2011. 10:30 pm
*This dialogue occurs as Tatyana is (once again) the last one up finishing her homework by the light of the lantern.

Tatyana: (Looks up at Ms. Adrienne from her MeBook page) Why was you crying last Friday in class? You sad to see us go?
Ms. Adrienne: (With a semi-confused face because at first she couldn't remember what Tatyana was talking about. Then she remembers when she was welling up in class because she was thinking of something emotional that had happened recently. ~Ms. Adrienne really is a softy inside) Yup. That was it. I was sad. Now finish your homework, you gotta get your rest.
Tatyana: You didn't know I saw you, huh?
Ms. Adrienne: Nope. I will be sad to see you go though. Now seriously, get working girl.
Tatyana: Y'all should have a hotel here.
Ms. Adrienne: (Chuckles at the thought of the luxury and comfort of a hotel instead of these nearly 60 year old cabins) You're right. You wanna buy me a hotel?
Tatyana: (She gets really excited, but luckily keeps her voice at a whisper) Ya! Actually, I wish you and Ms. Heather could come to my house.
Ms. Adrienne: That would be cool.
Tatyana: When we older, you and Ms. Heather could come live in my house. That would be fun. (She looks beyond me as if she is imagining it at that moment).
Ms. Adrienne:(Yikes) Ya, That would pretty awesome. If we still know each other; we will visit.
Tatyana: Ok. (She smiles and gets back to work).

Just one more reason I love my job.
