At three o'clock I went outside. Randy's bus would be pulling up any minute. I sat in a white plastic chair next to a row of bushes on the driveway. In my left hand. . . a garden hose.
The bus pulled up, and Randy started up the driveway.
I stood up.
"Hey!", I shouted. "Remember this morning?"
Before he could answer he was being soaked from head to toe. He dropped his backpack and lunch box. Water continued to soak him. I would stop for a minute, then get him again.
