For reasons other than hers, and not the least being that we’ve learned this week that we have enough stuff to fill the back of a Toyota Sequoia at least 14 times, came my weary reply: “Me too.”

“Then we can stop with this old-house-new-house-old-house-new-house stuff,” she continued.

“Yes,” I replied.  ”We can just call it THE House.”

“No,” she answered.  ”We can call it HOME.”

Touché.

And just a funny side note: she asked Mr. Ishmail, “Is your mother going to kill you when you get home and she sees what you’ve done to your clothes???”
