Text exchange between Caleb and Pogue - backdated to before Christmas
Caleb: >> Sorry I left so early this morning. Apparently today is going to be insane at the museum, so they wanted me in a little early. >> But I wanted to ask you something really weird >> Do you have any dreams that involved ghosts of Christmas appearing? >> I’m hoping it’s not some sign that I’m turning into Scrooge.
Pogue: >> Insane? At museum? Really? >> That amuses me way more than it should >> Ghosts of Christmas? >> You sure you didn’t hit your head this morning?
Caleb: >> Oh man >> Where else would you take children to let them run around like crazy and it’s free for them? >> Museums are basically catnip for parents who are completely over their kids being out of school >> You should stop by and see the insanity >> And yeah…. >> I didn’t hit my head, I swear >> This weird ghost appeared and suddenly I was seeing a vision of the future
Pogue: >> I think I’m gonna take a hard pass on that ;) >> I have to deal with drunk people without adding kids into the mix >> What vision did you see?
Caleb: >> Wow, that’s so rude >> You don’t even want to see my adorable face? >> I’ll buy you lunch if you come byyyyy~ >> Oh so now you believe me? ;P >> I saw the four of us probably like another 10/15 years from now - I think you and I are married >> There’s a couple adorable animals >> And…
Pogue: >> Now you’re bribing me? ;) >> But I might be tempted >> You know for the food and all :P >> And…?
Caleb: >> Definitely not above bribing you >> Especially since I know how to get you to say yes >> ;) >> And… >> We had kids there. A boy and a girl.
Pogue: >> You make me sound so easy ;) >> But sure I mean I clearly need to come and rescue you from all the insanity >> Kids? Really? >> Wow >> Are we any good at parents? I mean, ours sucked for the most part, but hopefully we do it better?
Caleb >> You're not? ;) >> Obviously! I can give you a private tour >> I think we are. They look happy and so do we. >> I can tell you more about it in person when you get here if you want.
Pogue: >> Depends on who it is :P >> Yeah, I’d like to hear more about it >> I would hope we’d learned what not to do from our parents >> I’ll see you soon
