Just then the phone rang and I looked at Millicent.

“Should I answer it?”

Without looking up, she said, “Well, it is the advice part of the show.”

She was right. It was the advice part of the show. I had to press the blinking light. I had to answer the phone. As I reached toward the blinking light, there was even more banging on the window. Now, a different man was making signals with his hands. He looked like an umpire in a baseball game. And since my dad watches baseball games, I know what the signals mean. When the umpire shakes his head no while moving a hand across his neck, it means, “You’re out!” That was what the man was doing now. He was saying that Mr. Sanders was “out.” Which meant he was in big trouble. A different man was making the “safe” sign, which meant I was safe to answer the phone.

I pressed the red blinking button. Then some people in the booth slapped their palms against their foreheads. Another guy put his head down on the table. They were really impressed.

“Hello?”

I heard my hello fill the headphones. I was a radio host! I was saving the day! I was ON AIR! It was the best feeling in the entire universe. And that is not an opinion.
