“YOU MET MY DAD the other day.”

When Tutti comes over and says that to me, I’m crouching down pulling on the broken end of my shoelace so that I can tie it, and I’m really trying to concentrate. She’s standing behind me, and when I look up fast, it’s at a weird angle and my neck makes this snapping noise. It hurts a little.

“Yes, I met him,” I say, getting up. “Last week. Monday last week.”

“So you said you’re going to come and watch a movie?”

I don’t remember saying anything like that. I’m about to say, No, I didn’t say that, but Tutti talks first.

“My dad says on Friday night. Can you come?”

“Maybe. I have to ask. What movie?”

“It’s already decided.”

“OK. You said night. What time does night mean?”

“Obviously night means all of the time after you’ve eaten dinner,” says Tutti with a face that says she can’t believe I don’t know that already.

“But I don’t think I can come for all of the night.”

“I don’t mean stay all night. You asked me what night means. I just told you the meaning of night. That’s all,” says Tutti, sounding a little annoyed.

“Oh,” I say.

“I mean we should spend part of the night watching a movie,” she says, back to her usual grinning face. “After you eat dinner at home, come over. We’re not going to do anything else. Just watch a movie.”
