Tommy went ahead to call his friends, Phil and Lil. To the truth, they happen to be twins.

Phil was the one who answered when he dialed the number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Phil. This is Tommy."

"Hi, Tommy! What makes you decide to call me today?"

"Just seeing what you two are doing on a rainy day," Tommy answered.

"Do you want me and Lil to come over? I'm pretty much sure Mom and Dad would let us come over for a while."

"Thanks, and that would be fun. Dil is being a little bossy today."

"What makes you say that for?" Phil asked.

"Because we are trying to decide on-"

Tommy was interrupted by Dil.

"Hold on," Tommy told his friend.

"Tommy, your three minutes are up! Have you decided on anything?"

Tommy shook his head.

"No," he answered.

"Since you didn't give me any thoughts ten minutes ago, I will go ahead and play by myself. Want me to tie you up or not giving me any answers right away?"

This hasn't been the only time had happened to Tommy. It's happened to him several times, so he knows what his little brother said.

"Dil, will you please go somewhere else? I am trying to talk on the phone here," Tommy told him.

"I see nobody wants to play with me. I will go ahead and play by myself."

"You can try asking Dad," Tommy told him.

"I have thought of that, bur he seems too busy today like you are right now. I need some excitement. Rainy days are boring."

Tommy understood because it is hard to find something to do, even if it means you don't know what to do.

"I will be with you soon, Dil."

That's when his brother left, but Dil said not a word. Tommy went back to the telephone.

"Sorry about that, Phil. Dil gave me three minutes to decide what game we should play."

"He isn't the boss," Phil reminded him.

"True. Since I am the oldest, I get to decide, not him."

Phil agreed.

Tommy had a question for his friend.

"Phil?"

"What?"

"Do you have Lil over there with you?"

"No. She went to go shopping with Mom. Not sure when she would be gone."

"Okay, but you're still welcome to come."

"Thanks, Tommy. Do you want me to come along or wait for Lil?" Phil asked.

"It really doesn't matter either way," Tommy answered.

"I know. If I wait, then Lil will be able to come along."

Phil and Lil might be twins, but they ever separate from one another. They see each other as best friends. Tommy is like that with his brother and best friend, Chuckie Finister.

"Have you talked with Chuckie about this?" Phil asked.

Then they both heard Dil yell, "Tommy, are you coming to play?"

"Hold on, Phil. No, I haven't talked to Chuckie."

"So Lil and I are the only ones?"

"Yes. I happen to think Chuckie has to study for the latest spelling test since he missed the last one."

"I forgot about that. I am happy to know he is feeling better."

"Me, too. I have to go and see what Dil has in mind for a game. He suggested Memory earlier."

"I like that game."

It was one of Phil's favorites, Tommy remembered.

"If you don't come, that's fine too," Tommy said.

Then they ended their conversation.
