More room at the inn.

Mairs: Mom, did Remy come home early from school?

Me: (3 hours later) Yes, she is sick. I picked her up.

Mairs: I saw her leaving school, and I asked her if she was OK and she didn’t answer me. I got a little scared. It would be really sad if she died. But, I guess I would have a lot more room in our closet and our bedroom. But I would still be sad.

Me: Oh. Um. Good?

Best season ever. Co-coach is a great friend, girls encourage and love each other and kindness and competition are everywhere on the court.
