Last night WAW took S10 to the movies. She did her usual text-from-the-driveway thing, asking if it was okay to come in and use the little room before they left.
Here, kitty kitty.
So I went outside, waved, opened her car door, told her "Come on in!" Then inside I chatted happily, smiling.
WAW was intrigued. Intrigued, but confused.
She came into the back of the house to see D6, and she was not-too-subtly-but-thinking-she-was-subtly eyeballing changes in the house. Why, this does not compute! Changes? In the house? Why, yes -- this is Smiley's Person's house now, didn't you know?
So we continued chatting amicably until it was time to leave for the movie. When she came back, she sort of stuck half her head into the family room where I was fast-forwarding through some DVR'd stuff, and I said, "What're you doing out there? Come in!" Asked her how the movie was, etc., etc., and again she had that quizzical-but-somehow-pleased-but-not-sure-what-was-happening thing in her eyes.
But she had to leave -- it was late, after all. So I said Goodnight and so forth, but I made a conscious choice not to get up, pause my viewing, and walk her to the door. No, I'm sort of busy here. And she kind of didn't want to leave, but kind of did, and finally managed to pull herself away, but not before a "So, you're leaving Tuesday?" Yes.
"And I guess you're meeting your 'friend' in Very Orderly European Country." Why, yes, as a matter of fact I am.
"Oh." Pause. "We're still having a date when you get back, right?" Of course! Looking forward to it!
"And we're seeing Fabulous MC#2 when you get back, right?" Of course! Looking forward to it!
