Storytime - Adi

A conversation that Adi recently had with our neighbor G, as related by G.

I should mention up front that G has taken Adi to school on the bus with her daughter pretty much every morning this year, and that Adi and her daughter are friends, and that G is a very nice person.

G: Adi, how much do you like me?
A: Not much.
G: I take you to school every day, and you say you don't like me much?
A: Right, not much.
G: I was going to get you some chocolate milk, you know.
A: Oh. OK, so ask me again.
G: Adi, how much do you like me?
A: On a scale from one to ten, I'd give you a seven.
G: Only a seven?
A: OK, an eight.
G: Eight's not high enough.
A: OK, a nine.
G: Nine's not high enough.
A: OK, now you're at zero.
