Corwin’s friend Jack was over after school yesterday (it was the first time he had ridden a school bus home). He and Corwin had a good time, while Charles tried to interact with them and, failing that, just watched them do their boy stuff. Apparently, though, Charles had quite a good time at it because after Mom took Jack and Corwin off to their baseball game, Charles asked about Jack.
Charles: Where Jack?
Dad: He and Corwin went to play baseball.
Charles: Jack come back?
Dad: No, his dad will be picking him up at the game.
Charles: Why?
Dad: I think his parents like to have him around.
Charles: Jack come over every day?
Dad: No, I don’t think so.
Charles: Why?
Dad: Jack just came over so he could go to the game with Corwin.
Charles: Jack come back tonight?
