The Other Foot

Get this: my mom and dad caught wind of Dr. Husband’s mom’s plans to buy a house here (and by “caught wind of” I mean “I told them”), and now they, too, want to move to Seattle. My dad is particularly eager, scouring the web for real estate and saying terrifyingly things like, “Your mom won’t be ready to make a move for five years or so, but I think the time to buy is now!”

“They do know my mom is thinking of being here just some of the time, right?” Dr. Husband asked nervously, pouring himself another spot of the rye whiskey he bought special for the holidays.

In response I raised my eyebrows into a look that said—or endeavored to say—See how it feels now, buster! punctuated by a Miss-Piggy-style karate-chop noise: Hi-ya!
