Courage

J: There is a girl in my class who is always crying.
Me: What’s her name?
J: I don’t know, but she cries.
Me: Maybe she needs a friend.
J: Nah, I think she misses her mom.
Me: Well, you could still be nice to her and be her friend.
J: I don’t have any girl friends. I don’t have the courage. Boys like Nick and Jordan they’re pretty funny. And, they have courage.
Me: How about Joseph S.?
J: Oh yeah Joseph S. Hey! That’s me. No, I definitely don’t have courage for a girl friend. Joseph H., now, he does.
