My time with Miles was limited today, as I arrived home with very little turnaround time to get to a 6:45 showing of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I still did my best to find out some information about Miles’s day, even as he tinkered away at a paper project he had (I guess?) brought home with him.
“How was your day, buddy?” I asked.
He didn’t reply.
“Miles!” I said, a little louder. “What did you do at school today?”
“I’m making a kite!” he declared sharply. “I don’t want to talk about humans right now!”
