Though Spain should take Gibraltar
Because it didn't occur to me to have my camera on hand while doing book yelling on the couch with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
selkie, the only photographic evidence of the moment when my godchild dropped onto the couch behind me and cheerfully applied a sort of wrestling scissor to the middle of the conversation comes from my battleship-grey dreadnought of a substitute phone which, as a camera, is an A-1 flip phone.
It's like Escher with limbs.
Not pictured: when I stretched out on the couch and he sat on my diaphragm like a cat or a breathing exercise.
I correctly guessed that his class assignment which required him to locate Spain, the Philippines, and the U.S.A. had to do with the Spanish-American War, but I can't rule out that I remember its existence because of Bob Dylan and Arsenic and Old Lace. Earlier in the day, when Selkie informed me of the upcoming and literal sunset of the British Empire, I got stuck with Flanders and Swann's "Rockall."
I have demonstrably spent more time with this branch of my family on this trip than has been possible in years and it seems ridiculous that I should have to leave in the morning. What is this nonsense of distances. Teleportation instantaneously.

It has been! There was one part that didn't come off as planned, but other people's lives happen and it was still a nice day. (It contained the cake.)

Teleportation instantly--Yes please! Says I, with two kids living in Japan.

I described many of our interactions as "sudden engulfing hugs."

Understandable!
In the absence of appropriate technology, do you travel to see them or vice versa or what?

Charles Foster Kane may also bear some responsibility.

I saw Arsenic and Old Lace so young, I blame it for almost as much as Singin' in the Rain!

You're welcome! There must be bootlegs, but I wish there had been another LP, too.
I used to wander round Kentish Town (it wasn't far from my then-boyfriend's flat) so I may've passed his flat without realising.
I like the idea of you drifting through his ambit.

Also, I'm glad to know you had such a wonderful trip and visit with your family. Here's another vote for teleportation! <3

Amen. And since it came up in my godchild's assignment, no more of this disenfranchised possessive nonsense with Puerto Rico.
