From a certain point of view...

On the last day of school, a student confides "I have a gift for you but I forgot it at home!"

I say, half-joking, "Well, you know where I live so you can just drop it off sometime."  (I live in town and not too far from this student).

She says "Okay -maybe I will."

Yesterday she emails me to see if someone will be home today so she can drop it off.

This afternoon, my parents and I go out for a walk and this student happens to be driving to my house to drop off the gift.  Seeing me, she stops, jumps out and hands me a gift.  Then she jumps back in her car and drives off.

Hours later, Isabelle comes home and sees my unwrapped gift:

"Hey, where did this cool book come from?"

Before I can explain, my Mom pipes up, "When your Dad walks around town, people just stop their cars and give him gifts in the middle of the street."

I pause for a second and then say, "Yes,  that's exactly correct."
