The People in Your Neighborhood

Most nights when we are out in our front yard playing we'll cross paths with our very friendly new neighbor, A. One night this week Matilda told him how she had just graduated preschool. Upon finding out, he said that he wanted to get her a present and he excitedly told her, "Name one thing, anything that you would want!" Matilda paused for a moment, and then replied, "Lettuce!" Her answer got a good laugh from both A and his adult son. Then he asked, "Do you like mangoes?" He proceeded to give us several of the tastiest mangoes we have had in a while.
