„Are you happy looking back on our wedding, my love?“
„Oh girl! We’ll walk from space to space in glad progression,
and should not cling to one as homestead for us. Childhood … College … Wedding …
Delivery-room … Obstetrician’s fee … Savings for future education …
Monthly mortgage payments … Property tax …
Two cars … Two bedrooms … One closet for each bedroom …
Reducing the distance to bathroom from bedroom …
Can the door locks in our old people’s home be opened easily from outside in an event of emergency? … Hospitalization …
Every blossom fades, and all youth sinks into old age, see?“
„Instead of hiring a bartender, we should have asked your father to mix the first drink for everybody and then suggest that everybody mix his own after that. People tend to drink less if an overgracious host doesn’t plunge for empty glasses the instant they are drained.“
„Anon, my heart! Say farewell and do recover.“
