Mini-Lesson ExampleConnections Friends moving, saying goodbye – how people say goodbye:

talking about how great the new change will be, getting angry, wanting to be around your friend all the time, not wanting to be around your friend all the time

Inferring I’m inferring that Reggie is talking about how great Greendale will be because he’s actually sad and scared about moving, and he is trying to make himself feel better.

I’m inferring that Ira is finding things that he doesn’t like about Reggie -- he says “I’m talking to you” when he’s on the phone, he chews with his mouth open -- so he can be mad instead of sad

I’m inferring that Ira isn’t really talking about the turtles, but he is talking about how he is feeling about Reggie leaving.
