Well, now on Day 5 of Bernadette being home in Texas... I was talking to her on the phone tonight, and after a while her mom got on the line from another phone and told us it was time to wrap things up. I immediately felt like I was back in high school, talking on the phone with my friends, when their mom would come on the phone. "Okay Allison, it's time for dinner. Finish up here on the phone." And then we'd go quiet, startled that an adult had gotten onto the phone with us. And then I'd go, "Hi Mrs. Kulbeda." and they'd go, "Hi Josh. We just need her for dinner." Ah, what a happier, simpler time.
