lost and found

[rhsc]

When any of you are the FU, do you normally try to keep the ball/strike count? I havent normally been doing that, but last night I was the FU and the PU (somebody I hadnt officiated with before) asked me twice in the game what the count was, because he had lost/forgotten it. I was caught off guard to be truthful and it was a little difficult to be discrete with my response. What is the most professional way to handle this? I expect some wise-cracks, but I would like some real input, too.
