We walked across the blue carpet to the opposite hall. There were Signs shaped like arrows, Fitness Center, Weight Room, Lockers.
We stopped in front of a large plate glass window with crossed wires inside.
On the other side of that, I could see row after row of fitness equipment, and several weights, benches... A lady folding white towels, and an aerobics class... people moving from one machine to another, working out...
Mom waited for me to take it all in.
Me, “Wow! This is big...”
Mom, “So, this was here last year... I do not think there would have been any reason for a classroom to be used as a weight room if the students could use this one...”
Me, “You are right, but I saw what I saw....”
Mom, “Interesting. I will do some more checking.”
Me, “You must think I’m crazy.”
Mom, “Nope. Could be anything, but I doubt you are crazy. Possibly you dreamed it, or maybe the class room was a weight room for some special purpose... or maybe something else.”
She shrugged. “ You Do well at science and math. Maybe Someday, all this will be yours for a few years... would you like to have access to all this someday?”
Mom was always good at shifting the topic when she wanted, and I knew she was leading me away from stress toward an Image of a bright future, and planting an educational seed. I decided to let her lead me where she wanted, so I replied,
“Yes, that would be cool.”
Mom, “Come on, we will go home and you can use your bench in the meantime...”
