Down South
We are really enjoying our cold Pepsi drinks in a new place.
I drink mine down with a loud slurp.
She looks at me with a smile:
“What does it mean in Missouri?”
It’s a rhetoric question.
Being originally from Missouri, Sue asked me this question million times in the last 30 years. Still, I make a puzzled expression as if I don’t know what it means in her home state.
“What does it mean in Missouri?”
“All gone!”
After a l-o-o-o-n-g and dramatic 3-day drive down south, we just moved from Massachusetts to Florida.
Very much like Pepsi in our our glasses, we are all gone.
We are in Florida.
