CAUTIONARY TALE FOR PEOPLE WHO ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS

Me: I’m getting ready for my first mother-in-law visit to Ruth and Derek in Ontario.
Her: Oh! You must be excited.
Me: Yes I am. They ar too.
Her: I’ll bet! It’s really exciting, isn’t it?
Me: Yes. Only one more sleep. By the way, you and your mother have a close long-distance relationship. How often ideally would you like her to visit?
Her: Twice a year.
Me: Mmm, only twice?
Her: Well, I like to visit her too you know.
Me: Mmmm, I guess.
Her: Maybe three times, yes, ideally maybe three.
Me: Mmmm, I guess I was looking for more than that.
Her: Maybe more if my place had more than one bedroom.

Could this be the conversation that scuttles my plan to buy WestJet so I could get free flights to Ontario?

The good news is we've got more than one bedroom, so you can come as often as you like!
See you soon!!!
