Cookies and Milk

Miles was upset last night about his new second grade class. He has no friends to play with, and his buddy Trevor Kallis from the previous year doesnt want to play with him on the playground because he's playing football with Brock and the other boys. So Miles was pretty hurt. So we had cookies and milk after everyone else in the house was asleep. We talked about Miles problem and how we could solve it. He could sign up for football, even though he's not really interested in it just to be part of the football crowd...we decided that wasnt the best idea. So we started discussing the possibility of Miles making friends from his new class. I said "who sits by you?" He said theres a Mexican kid named Mancilla who always plays with his best friend Anna, so I thought he could ask him if he could play with them. Miles insisted that Mancilla and Anna were like 2 years younger than him and couldnt't play. Then he unleased this on me...."I guess I could play with Zach", he says. I said okay, who is this kid. Well, he says he lives down the road on Charles court and hes in my class, and he walks with us to school. So theres a kid in your grade right down the road?,He's lived there as long as we have (more than three years!), why do I have no idea who this kid is???. I think Miles might have a new best friend soon. We'll have to wait and see.
