But does it go all the way to the top?

I know I've mentioned that we're in a new building this year.

The old building was tough for me, lots of stairs. Carrying stuff in and out wasn't great, although our custodian was helpful.

I no longer have to contend with stairs, although the copy machine is upstairs. That's because there's an elevator. I probably use it about every two weeks,I try to do whatever copies I need to do all at once so I don't have to go too often.

But it's nice to have that elevator, and I appreciate it. I'm sure the other people with varying degrees of mobility do, too.

We were chatting about it on Friday afternoon. my group was saying that kids aren't allowed to use it, "Except for Stella, she has a wheelchair."

I told the kids that my magic badge worked the elevator, that I use it every time I need to make copies or to borrow a book from the library, which is upstairs.

Will was impressed.
"But does it work both elevators?" he asked me.

"What do you mean,'both elevators', Will?"

"There's two of them!" Will told me.

I guess I looked blank. James and Hayden chimed in.
"Yeah, there's two of them!"

There aren't.
But I immediately figured out what they were thinking.

Will confirmed it.
"Yeah, there's two. One is outside around the corner by the Kindergarten pod. The other one is upstairs by the library."

Of course it's the same elevator. I even explained it to them. They looked thoughtful and nodded along, but not one of those three kids believes me.

They're positive that our building has two elevators, one upstairs and one downstairs.

Kids are funny.
