I was an immature scrub, pouting my lips at Imani's words and the way she said them; she spoke with sacredness. "So, you're saying that they pass on secret notes between each other? Like grade school?" Again, Imani didn't understand my joke. The look on her face mirrored the look an adult would give a little kid when they completely missed the 'important' part of their speech.
