At the risk of encouraging your curiosity

Yet another trip without a camera has gone by. Although this time, it may have been a subconscious move on my part, since everyone in Rob’s family is incredibly tall (13-year-old niece: 5’9”) and I always end up feeling like that short, stout teapot. His niece was very curious about our relationship and said things like “Why won’t he just ASK you?” and “Maybe he’ll ask you tonight.” It was actually very cute, until the rest of the family and their friends and their friends’ pets joined in. During these conversations I am constantly looking around the room for my mother, the possible ventriloquist.
