It's getting better

Ricky told me that he played with a new friend at last recess today.  I asked what his new friend’s name is and he said,

“I don’t remember, but I think he’s a boy.”   Huh?

Ricky went on, “He has springy curls like the girl who sits next to me but it isn’t as long.  So I don’t think he’s a girl.  Yeah, I think he’s a boy.”
