Me: Mom! You have Primo in the same room as me?
Mom: Yes.
Me: Who are you and what have you done with my mother?
Mom: Well. We are going to eat in the family room and it
just seemed like too much trouble to set the trundle bed up there and then have
to move it.
Me: But – but inconvenience has never stopped you before! I
mean, never ever! When Jenny and I were here with John and her boyfriend for
Eve’s wedding and you had the rehearsal dinner in the family room, you still
had the guys sleep there.
Mom: I know. But I figured you guys aren’t sleeping in
separate rooms all the time in Austin.
Me: Mom!
Mom: And I left the bundling nightstand between the two
beds. So you know – you’re separated.
Whenever someone who has been living with their intended gets married, my dad would say, " ow you can take out the nightstand and push the beds together!"

Old jokes are the best jokes, in my opinion, especially when they keep memories alive.
I love that story!
