I ever respond past times taking the inquiry seriously as well as trying to come upwards up amongst interesting answers.
This calendar week I tried something new. I turned the tabular array as well as asked her the questions.
“What produce yous intend Seattle volition hold upwards similar inwards fifty years?” I ask
“Well, I won’t hold upwards here,” she laughs.
“I wonder what it volition hold upwards like,” I persist
Now she’s interested.
“Well, I intend women volition hold upwards wearing skirts again."
“I don’t’ intend in that place volition hold upwards whatever room – the streets volition hold upwards amount amongst people everywhere.”
“My grandmother would hold upwards thence amazed.”
“Do yous intend nosotros volition all the same travail cars?” I ask.
“There won’t hold upwards room. Maybe nosotros volition all fly.”
“Things change. That simply what happens – in that place is zippo yous tin produce to halt it.”
And as well as thence – out of the blue…
“I wishing to alive to hold upwards 100.”
I ever state her I wishing her to alive to 100, but this is the showtime fourth dimension she has ever expressed that wishing herself.
Mom’s menage unit of measurement tends to hold upwards real long-lived. Since the 1850’s, a surprising publish convey lived into their mid to belatedly 90’s – announcing when they volition move out and, correct on schedule, doing so.
I’ve ever idea that Mom would make 100 past times forgetting to state herself to die.
But – simply maybe – she volition state herself to proceed living.
Hope so.
