Besties

 Today in the car on the way to Luke's (Nate's cousin's) house for a sleepover.

Nate:  You know, Mom, Luke is my best friend.  I love hanging out with him.  He just gets me.  Not very many people get me.

Nate:  He's great too because he laughs at my jokes even if they aren't that funny.

Nate: There was a time when I kind of got into the habit of gossiping and he would say "Hey, Nate, let's not gossip about that person."  And so I stopped.

Nate:  He has a magic gift.

Robyn:  Oh?  What is the magic gift?

Nate:  He's nice all of the time and he doesn't sass.
