'Or is that how you are asking a girl on a date when you just first met her?' I asked him. It was one of the boys' strategies for hooking girls. I learned it from my brother two years ago and thinking about my brother breaks my heart. He laughs at me, probably amused at what I said.
'I am too old to use that strategy.' He picked his fork.
'How old are you?' I asked him. He looked at me and smiled like a Cheshire cat.
'Five...' he said playfully. I grimace at his answer.
'Five? You were born five years ago and every day you grow?' I furrow.
