A Conversation

    Hey, Small Boy.

 

Yeah? 

 

  This sucks, right?

 

Totally blows. 

 

  I know, right? Let’s mix it up a bit.

 

I’m in. 

 

  Okay, I’ll count to three, and then…

 

Wait, what’s three? 

 

  You know, one…two…three.

 

Oh, right. 

 

  So I’ll count to three, and you start crying.

 

Why me? 

 

  No, listen! You start, then I’ll scream at you to stop. See?

 

Oh, yeah! That will rock!  

 

  Okay, get ready. One…two…

 

Wait. What am I supposed to do? 

 

  Cry!

 

What’s my motivation? 

 

  Because it will get their attention. They might even stop the car.

 

But what am I crying about? 

 

  I don’t know. Think of something sad.

 

 

 

  What does sad mean?
