Back to the ghost mall today. She calls to make sure what she needs is in stock as promised two days ago. A bout of insomnia last night means a late wake up for me and that means getting ready for the day long past noon.
“Are you ready?”
“Almost!”
I pick up snacky lunch dishes while she gets ready.
“Are you ready now?”
“Almost!” Antsy, I’m ready to go and return home for doing all of the things that need doing. If we don’t go now, we’ll get stuck in traffic on the way back.
“Let’s go!” I holler impatiently.
“I’m almost ready!”
“You said that two almosts ago!”

Why can’t she just answer the question with a simple yes or no?

Your slice, brings back so many memories. “Almost” or a word like that was the answer from my teens years ago.

Yup, living with a teen comes with a lot of almosts… or in my case, hold on!
