nothing great

asked an aunt whether she is going to attend our high school's alumni homecoming.

aunt:  'no...  we don't attend homecomings...'

me:  'oh?  how come i saw you in one before?  you even had a presentation...  you danced...'

aunt:  'the 50th?'

me:  'i'm not sure...  maybe...'

aunt:  'oh...  it's because we had batchmates who were part of the organizing committee...  but there were very few of us that time...  we were just one table...'

me:  'just one table?  i remember the crowd was cheering loudly while you performed...  those were not your batchmates?'

aunt:  'no...'

me:  'wow!  if your batchmates cheer for you that's just expected...  but if strangers enthusiastically applaud your performance then you must be good.  you didn't know those people?'

aunt:  'maybe we did...'

oh, hehe...
