\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hello.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey, ______, where are you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where am I? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m at college.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I know that, but where at college?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in my room.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Studying again?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m about to play some football and then have dinner. Why\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d you call?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I need to know when you ran into the back of my truck. That was two or three years ago?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wait…that was the winter of my junior year.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s three years. Junior, Senior and now Freshman in college.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two years. Junior to senior is one and senior to Freshman is one more.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But… .\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t argue with me. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the mathematician. Why do you want to know.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I finally got the bumper fixed and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to write it up. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to say who did it, but I will say how easy it was to fix and how stupid I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How much did it cost to fix?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Forty-five dollars. And the estimate had been for fifty, but the guy said it took him less time than he figured.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all? You can tell them who did it. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind, I learned something from it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was just an accident. Matt stopped in the snow and you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not about you but me. How could I have waited two years? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been such a pain in the ass. With the bumper pushing against the tailgate, I could barely close the thing. And because the bumper covered up the hole which gives me access to lower the spare tire, I really haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had a spare. All that time, all that aggravation and for what?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Forty-five bucks. Go ahead, tell them I did it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
