Being There

Conversation between high school graduate A- and his younger brother, D-, walking out of commencement ceremonies last night:

"So can we call you a college student now?"
"Well, no, I don't think you can call me a college student yet."
"But you're not a high school student."
"Duh, I just graduated."
"Well if you're not a high school student and you're not a college student, what are you? You're just kind of there."

Chance would be so pleased.
