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.
