HS Homecoming tonight

Our club is scheduled for 2 homecomings tonight, I'm the point person for one, and the co-chairman of the point person for the other.

I just spoke with my contact at the school, just to make sure we had each other's cell phone numbers, and to verify the time of arrival.

Cathy:  Oh, Marlene, I was just thinking that I should call you.
Me:  Oh, isn't that funny, great minds think alike.

Laughter

Cathy:  How many cars are we getting tonight?
(My thought:  GULP.  It's 11am on day of your homecoming and you're asking me about how many cars???)
Me:  5
Cathy:  Any chance we could get 6?

(Me:  Cough, cough, choke, choke)

Me:  Gee, I don't know.  It's short notice and we've got a second homecoming for tonight that's already scheduled and filled.
Cathy:  Please.

I checked the roster for her school and fortunately we have one additional car showing up, to be used as an alternate.  Thank goodness.

Me:  Oh, I just checked the roster and there will be one more car there.  We're good to go.
Cathy:  Thanks, Marlene, you're great.

Right.  I can pull Corvettes out of my butt.  Ha!

I'm not even mentioning the bind that we're in for October 15.  3 schools and we're not full at any of them.  But, heh, that's a week away.

Getting back to tonight's homecoming ....  I dearly love this school.  It's an inner-city school, mostly minorities.  I feel like such a Democrat when I'm there.
