All The World's A Stage

My own special geek

At 9:45 this morning, Fiona gets a phone call. I don't recognize the voice, except that it's a boy, and her 'boyfriend' sounds like a girl on the phone.

It's Edward, from camp.

He's calling because she gave him some tips on how to get past some scene he was having trouble with in Mario Brothers something star or the other. Rather, he's calling because her tips got him past it.

I come downstairs to hear this conversation and it is everything I can do not to pee my pants laughing. I think, "She's Carla!"

He calls back 2 hours later because he's stuck again. She gives more tips. He calls back an hour later - it worked!

I wonder how often this kid is going to call my house. I said, "Where does he live?"

"I don't know," she says.

"Well, find out next time he calls. If it's within an hour, maybe you guys can meet up."

"Oh, okay, but I really think we don't have anything in common but video games."

**blink blink**

"And farm camp," she adds.
