With holiday surprises coming together under my fingers, I was feeling indulgent, so I allowed Maga her weather questions.
“I hate snow,” Maga said. “Is that showing my age?”
“If it is, then I’m 97 too.”
But that didn’t mean I couldn’t make some light-hearted jokes while doing so.
We then discussed the importance of family during the holidays, travel plans, and visitors.
“What day of the week is Christmas this year?” Maga asked.
“I think it’s a Tuesday. Oh, so that would make it exactly two weeks from today.”
“What’s today’s date?”
“The 11th.”
“11 + 14 is 25, so yes, exactly right. Good for you.”
Looks like Maga was feeling rather indulgent tonight too.
