coach: hey, kristin! did you hear the announcement about practice yesterday?

me: no.

coach: oh. so i guess you knew practice was cancelled when the bus wasn't there.

me: the bus was there.

coach: oh. so coach told you to go home, then?

me: no. she wasn't there. Rianna and I had to run to go catch our bus.

coach: oh. well, the principal forgot to make the announcement.

me, internally: how could i have heard it, then?

me: okay....

coach: if i decide not to have practice today, he promised to remember to make the announcement.

me: great.

We didn't have practice.
