Crushing Developments

(It is the same day that my best friend had broken up with her boyfriend. She rides the same bus as I do. My eight-year-old brother has a huge crush on her and she would usually sit next to him on the bus.)

Little Brother: “You can’t sit next to me ’cause we’re not lovers anymore!”

(She changes seats, to where I’m sitting near the back.)

Best Friend: “Both my boyfriends just broke up with me.”

Me: *laughing* “Don’t worry. I’ll tell this story at his wedding.”
