Where are you, my friend?

Aditya was expecting a friend of his yesterday afternoon (a team member) and was all set to go back to the playroom. Excited and anxious, he kept monitoring the time. About 10 minutes later than the expected time of arrival, he couldn't stand it any more and asked, "Hey mom! Do you think she is not coming today?"
"Well, she didn't let me know, so I assume she'll be here soon."
"Can I call her and check?" He picked up the phone, dialled her number (Yes, he knows EVERYBODY'S phone numbers by heart) and spoke to her! "Hey, where are you?"

I found this incidence worth blogging about, as firstly, he has never dialled a phone by himself, and most importantly, he has never made such a quick decision and acted on it!

Till now, if somebody did not show up in time, he would keep asking us some of the following questions: Will she never come again? Did she get a new job? Is she sick? Will she stay home forever? I think he used to be pretty scared and upset with the thought that he wouldn't be meeting his friend. But now, he seems to have realised that there is something he can do rather than just being anxious!
