Storm: Yea. Ya, that’s the name fo the kid that he cooks with.
Me: I’m a little disturbed that you know this. How long ago did you start watching Breaking Bad

Storm: Ya; ok
Me: Mainly because of Norway and all that
Storm: Yes, that makes a big dent or a big whole in the wallet
Me: Are you looking forward to Norway?
Storm: I dunno. I’m questioning learning Norwegian just to make fun of Griffin
Me: Really? How are you going to learn Norwegian? Duolingo has Norwegian?
Storm: I have no clue -because, of course they put it in that native language
Me: Ya; that’s kind of rough. I think those are my questions
Storm: That’s it
Me: Ya. Is there anything else you want to share though?
Storm: No. Just know that as soon as I wake up you’re getting a tap on your shoulder asking for the gift you got me. Ok?
Me: Oh. That reminds me. I should put it into a bag, huh?
Storm: Ya. Because if it’s headphones I’m going to want that first.
Me: Oh! If it’s not?
Storm: I’m still going to want your gift
Me: Ok. Huugs and kisses. I can’t package that.
