"Can I leave this bag in your room?" a seventh grader asked this morning. "It won't fit in my locker."
"Sure," I shrugged, peering at the long thin parcel she carried on a strap over her shoulder. "What is it?"
"It's lacrosse gear," she told me. "My friend Addie is going to teach me how to play after school."
"8th grade Addie?" I responded, and when she nodded, I said, "She was in my homeroom!"
"I didn't know that!" she laughed.
"That's right," I confirmed. "You were in here last year, and she was here the year before. She's like your older homeroom sibling."
"I like that!" she smiled. "I'm going to tell her when I see her!"
