Questions and Answers

This is a transcript of the conversation that I just had with Hudson on the way home from Mammaw's. This took place AFTER I explained who my new boss is, my boss's new boss is and my boss's new boss's boss is. (Does that even make sense?) Then I had to discuss with him what I ate for lunch and all of my friends ate for lunch and why I work at a bank but we don't keep any money at my work. I also had to explain who all the people on my team at work is, their names and what they do. He wanted to know what team Abbey is on and what her team name is and what my team name is and so on and so forth. Also, the entire time we were having this conversation Paige was babbling to herself about Kenna and Cheryl, her "silly girlfriends." (She says "They're so silly and I don't know why!")
