An Amusing Conversation

I just had a conversation with my nine year old neighbor, Esther, who saw me running this morning.

Esther: Tomorrow I will show you running.

Me: Tomorrow, you will take me running?

Esther: Yes, I will show you running.

Me: Will you run with me?

Esther: No, I will show you running…

Me: You will teach me to run?

Esther: What?

Me: You will show me where to run?

Esther: Yes, tomorrow morning.

Me: Is it far?

Esther: No, not far.

Me: Ok, what time tomorrow morning?

Esther: 6:30.

Me: Ok, 6:30 tomorrow morning I will meet you right here. Ok?

Esther: Yes.

The conversation continued for a while, then she said:

Esther: I have to go now.  I have to wash my shorts.

Me: Well, tomorrow morning I will meet you right here.

Esther: Why?

Me: You going to show me where to run.

Esther: I am?

Me: Yes!

Esther: Its too far.

Me: But you said we were going running in the morning?

Esther: When?

Me: At 6:30.

Esther: I go to school at 6:30.
