Kate got up at 4:30 this morning to go to the bathroom. As I walked her back to bed, she started a conversation that lasted about fifteen minutes. Here’s an excerpt.
Kate: “What’s the name of this place?”
Richard: “This is our house.”
Kate: “Really? It’s a nice place.”
I got back in bed.
Kate: “What’s the name of this place?”
Richard: “This is our house.”
Kate: “It is?”
Richard: “It really is.”
Kate laughs loudly when she realizes she hasn’t recognized her own house.
Richard: “I love you.”
Kate: “I love you, too. <pause> What’s your name?”
Richard: “Richard.”
Kate: “What’s my name?”
Richard: “Kate, and we are a pair.”
Kate: “We’re a good pair. Where are we?”
Richard: “We’re in our house in Knoxville, Tennessee.”
Kate: “I like it. We’re lucky.”
Richard: “We’re very lucky.”
Kate: “Where are we?”
I love our conversations. We are lucky.
