Sophie and David
David finds himself getting nervous when he tries to hold a conversation with his new friend, Sophie. Sometimes, he says things that he becomes embarassed about saying, and one can find it pretty amusing. here is an example of one of the conversations that David tried to carry with Sophie when he first met her:
"...Your family's quiet when they eat," Sophie says as we stand by the door, waiting for her mom to arrive.
I can't tell her the truth - that remembering mom has a way of doing that to us. It's been two years now, and sometimes I wonder if it'll ever get easier.
"Yeah." I shrug, "They're kind of weird about that." Shut up, David. "Afraid of choking or something." Really, shut up! " I choked on a nickel when I was little." Oh my gosh! Shut up!
"Really?"
"Yeah, I saved it in a jar in my closet."
"Oh."
"It's sort of green now." Please strike me dead. SHUT UP!
