BFFs, checking in
Zoe wound up missing four days of school this past week, and by Thursday her bestie Zachary was getting concerned. He called Zoe that evening to ask how she was and to fill her in on what she had missed at school that week. ( “Have you been using my smelly markers, or did you put them back in my desk?” I heard her ask at one point.) Zoe doesn’t talk on the phone a lot, and she beamed with happiness throughout their conversation.
