Whenever we meet she says bonjour.

You reply in kind

I do.

Is this foreplay  or does she actually know French

She knows it. Her twin sister moved to France years ago and before she left they took classes togethervowed once she was there they’d communicate in French.

Thas fantastic

                 Are theywere they good with language

Yes. If I’m not mistaken, French, Spanish, German. I believe another language but off the top of my head I can’t recall.

Five languages man

                       I struggle with English Though I have an ear for music  I believe it understood universally  no matter the country

I’d agree.

Look at us off on a tear  in agreement

                                         Thas not frequent

No. It's not.

Yah

        So you said twin sister

Yes.

Fraternal do they call it fraternal even if theyre women   Or identical

Identical.

Can you tell them apart

No. Never could.

Ever date one

I couldn’t tell them apart. No I didn’t.

                                         Why?

Yakiddin me arya stupid

My insurance agent croaked.

Umm My condolences  I   think shrugging as he said

Yeahhmm, my sister said, she found him I only had hmm cursory involvement with himwouldn’t recognize him on the street to be frank.

Hiya

      Nice to meet you Frank

Stop. The man’s dead.

A man you woudnt recognise on the street

                                            Whywe talkinbout him

The cabin.

Tahoe You mentioned twelve feet of snow expected this weekend

Yes. The insurance agent’s wife, handling his affairs, found a note on his desk that the insurance on the cabin is expiring and we can’t insure it by continuation, need a new policy, wild fires, cabin has cedarshakes on its roof, it isn’t insurable once the policy lapses, have to replace the roof before it can be.

Whens tha

March Fifteenth.

                                              Good thing hes dead Yamight have killed him otherwise

   Can you believe it?

Insurance

           One of the best scams ever Until it catches up with em an then they throwup their hands say theyre not offering coverage Im thinking of flood insurance failed assurances in the Gulf  Florida

In almost every case, it’s the noun or pronoun that appears after the preposition.

“The relationships prepositions can show include physical position (about, above, below, on, and under), direction (in, into, to, toward), time (after, before, during, until), and source (from, of, out of).”

to the missives left was a forgive and forget letter summarising “What happened had happened, and now it was over.”

       an old joke

an M tattooed on each buttcheek  knees pulled tight to ones chestrolling sidewise  WOW MOM WOW MOM WOW MOM

she didnt find that funny

Aw comon Maw its funny its a joke

                                     Get down off tha high horse of yours

hers was mighty high

                       JUDGMENTAL

her middle name

she madeup her mind  no changing it

                                        not for all the tea in China  and then some  but isnt there always a but

his MOM secretly he spelled M O o r i n g M 

   when she died

his moorings lessened

                        he became more unmoored than usual

it was then he realised how grateful he was to her  realised  she held his reins loosely

when he became extreme

that was his middle name

he pushed hard on barriers

she managed to back him down

lessen his contemptderision

                              helped him relax unknot his fists

throughout her life she asked him in conversation over the telephone in letters  Do you remember Second Grade?

   Yes

Then. Practise what you learned what she taught him.

                                                        defuse situations with laughter

My only thing fear he explained to her  is tha once I start laughing I might not be able to stop  Ill rave

Oh don’t worry that, you’ll stop; even if it is only because you’ve fainted from a lack of oxygen.
