a little conversation across the street...

We were walking to the bus-stop, while Ryan was walking home with his babysitter. He just lives opposite the school - lucky boy!

R: Hey Bryan! My aeroplane's wing is broken.
B: Hey Ryan! My aeroplane's small wing is also broken.
(What coincidence! - Bryan's Mommy thought.)
R: Bye, Bryan! I'm going home now. (By then he's reached the doorstep with his babysitter.)
B: Bye, Ryan! Don't forget to fix your aeroplane at home. Ok?

Bryan and Ryan have become pretty good friends these days, although Bryan's best buddy still is Buba. Maybe they like each other loads coz their names begin with the letter B.

Guess what Ryan told me when I was there to pick Bryan up yesterday afternoon?
"Please come later tomorrow to pick Bryan up so that we can play longer together."

"Can Bryan come to my home to play with me?" - "Hmmm, that's a question you should ask your mommy tonight. Will you do that for me, Ryan? If your mommy says yes, then Bryan can go over to your home to play."

Fingers crossed that the-similarity-in-the-names-issue has blown over. Maybe these boys have become big guys now. But there have been obviously less complaints about Bryan's behaviour in school after the Rules were enforced.
