Summer Vacation Day 39: Allison and a Letter Cut Short

Hello, Tim!
Today… Was a rather normal day.

8/8, Wednesday
These days I have been hanging out with Allison quite a lot. I mean, we have always been close but not-so-close friends (ever heard of frenemies?)
Still, we watch a mutual French-originated cartoon called Miraculous Ladybug (maybe some other day), and now we live so close and it has become so easy for us to bump into each other at the bus station every morning. And after school, if we were going home at the same time (sometimes, she leaves as early as I do) and true, sometimes we passed the bus time with silence and no conversation whatsoever, but sometimes we would just talk about some random stuff. Something about the bus or something about the restaurants around our houses. We talk about not having our dads at home for big holidays because they both work abroad (although with completely different jobs and in completely different places). Sometimes, we just talk about topics that are so eclectic that basically came out of nowhere. For example, today, on our way home, we were talking about cell phone usage among children, including at what age should a child be given with a cell phone, and our attitudes towards letting children know the importance of being responsible adults. Allison hates kids, but she still has certain ideas about them that can be insightful while I have the first-hand experience of watching my little princess and prince, Sophie and Aiden and their usage of cell phones and tablets. We chatted and stayed on topic all the bus ride.

This is all for today.
