The Football Star

I took Troy to daycare this morning, and this happened.

Random Teacher: “Hey, Troy, it’s pretty cold out today, isn’t it?”

Troy: “Yeah.”

Other Random Teacher: “Hey, Troy, did you get wet out there?”

Troy: “A little bit.”

Yet Another Random Teacher: “Hi, Troy! How are you today?”

Troy: “I’m a little tired.”

Little Blonde Girl: “Hey look, it’s Troy! Hi, Troy!”

Me: “Man, bud, you’re really popular.”

Troy: “Yeah, they all know me as ‘Troy.’”

He said that like he was so well-known that he only needed one name. And he was so cool the entire time, like this sort of thing happens to him a lot. It reminded me of one of those movies where the QB of the football team was walking down the hall of the high school. And everybody stopped to call out, or touch his letterman jacket, or fist bump him. I was witnessing the equivalent of popularity at a three-year old level.
