Pattern Matching



I noticed them the first day I took over the first grade class. There were a couple of clear gangs of boys, and a large group of girls, a few loners, and Caroline and Paul, sitting together.

They would do their work together, sit together during breaks, and while they never complained when I split them up into other groups, they always got back together as soon as possible.

I forgot about them as the years went by, until yesterday, twenty years later, I saw them shopping for curtains. I said hello.

Although it was Paul, but not actually Caroline…
