Jolene:
Are you at your dad’s now?
Adam:
Yeah. It was basically the same only with less crying from my dad and no attempted smile from me.
Jolene:
I’m thinking about eating another bag of Christmas candy corn in your honor.
Adam:
Don’t. I hate those things.
Jolene:
Then tell me something good from today.
Adam:
Now. Talking to you.
Jolene:
Something before now.
Adam:
Jeremy sat on a Christmas ornament and broke it. Shocked us all into laughing, even our mom. I didn’t think I’d get to hear that from her today. Okay, your turn.
Adam:
Are you still there?
Adam:
Hello?
Jolene:
I was thinking. Mrs. Cho made me a gingerbread house that I probably wasn’t supposed to eat but did. And she gave me the Die Hard special edition box set since I told her the first one is my favorite Christmas movie.
Adam:
Die Hard is a Christmas movie?
Jolene:
Die Hard is THE Christmas movie. Why, what’s your favorite?
Adam:
I don’t know. Elf?
Jolene:
That might be the saddest thing you’ve said yet.
