Grandma wins

Conversation after a fine afternoon and evening of birthday fun with Mom and Dad.

Zora: Mom, do you like to be close to your Mama?

Erica: You mean do I like to live close by her?

Z: Yeah.

E: I do. Because I would miss her if we lived farther away. Do you like to be close to your Mama?

Z: No. I like to be close to Grandma. I like to be at her house.

E: But what if your Mama gets lonely?

Z: You won’t because I come back to see you and Daddy.
