Yeah, I’m really lucky. I wish that you could have had that growing up too.

Two minutes.

Salem
It took less than two minutes for my mom to ask about you by name.
Goldie
THAT’S AMAZING
Goldie
Tell Susan I say hello!
Salem
Did you just look up my mom so you could also address her by name?
Goldie
Maybe
Goldie
Was that endearing or creepy?
Salem
Adorable. She says “Hello Cody”.
Goldie
*Giant smile emoji*
Goldie
Was that all she said, or are you paraphrasing?
Salem
The parts about wishing that she could meet the nice young man who has me jet-setting across the country and actually smiling as I talk about Florida seemed unnecessary. *winking emoji*
Goldie
Your mom sounds awesome!
Salem
She is, and now the grandparents are scolding me for only staring at my phone. I’ll talk to you later.
