Roberto

Last summer we were at Chipotle and Dad recognized one of the Regis University basketball players also eating supper. He pointed out the player, we got excited, and that was the end of that. Until the player came over to Dad and said, "Do you live near Regis? I think I see you on campus."

Long story short: His name is Roberto and he's the most polite and friendly guy ever. Whenever he sees us on campus he goes out of his way to come over and visit.

Last Saturday, we went to see the Regis ladies play at Colorado Christian University. During halftime, the Regis men's team arrived (they were playing CCU after the women) and the entire team sat down in the three rows behind us. Roberto was excited to see us and sat right behind us.

John was being a little shy so he sat on Mom's lap at one point. Roberto was chatting with us and asking about the ladies on the court.

Roberto: "John, who is your favorite player out there?"
John: "Mary."
Robert: "Cool! She's really fun to watch."

Dad: "Johnny, tell Roberto who your favorite player on the guys' team is."
John: "No."
Dad: "Come on, who is your favorite?"
John: [Head shake]
Dad: "Oh, come on, bud, don't you have a favorite on the men's team?"

It is hard to describe the look, but John turned around and looked right at Roberto clearly conveying he was looking at his favorite. It was perfect.
