"Isn't it because I'm worried you'll worry too much and age?"
"Cut the flattery, I don't fall for that!"
"You're not a horse, you're the beautiful and kind mom that everyone loves!"
"You little rascal!" Bailey Hansen laughed and scolded, "You think you can sweet-talk me into agreeing? I'm telling you, no way!"
"Mom." Kris Cooper put away his teasing tone, "I'm serious."
"Serious? When have I ever not been serious when talking to you? How do you treat me?" Though she complained, Bailey's tone turned earnest, "Alright, I know, I'll discuss it with your dad later. We have a meeting with a director tomorrow, so no time, how about the day after tomorrow, we'll invite Grandma Wave over, and both families can sit down together. Your grandpa's been saying he wants to meet Vera too!"
"OK!" Kris Cooper's voice immediately brightened, "Should I hang up then?"
