Stepdad: 5 years ago today, the flood happened back home.
Mom: Oh, yeah. It did.
Me: *thinks of a flood that happened back where we used to live* *thinks of a flood that happened where my family lives* Wait...I'm confused.
Mom: The flood where Grammy and Pop live.
Stepdad: What other flood is there?
Me: I was thinking of the flood when the creek came over the bridge and school was closed for a week.
Stepdad: What-
Mom: Back in ******.
Stepdad: Oh.
Mom: Poor Ruthie. She doesn't really have a hometown. She was born and raised for a short time where I was born and raised, then she went to school in **********, and now she lives here.
Me: Your guys' homes are **** and **********, where you made friends and memories, mine is **********, where I made friends and memories. Hell, I know it like the back of my hand still.
Stepdad: What's across the street from the gas station by your school?
Me: *says restaurants name*
Stepdad: How many bars were on the green monkey bars at **********?
Me: 12.
Mom: What's the mall called?
Me: *******.
Mom: Name all the stores that *restaurant* used to be.
Me: *store*, *store*, *restaurant*, *store*, *restaurant* Give me a hard one!
Mom: As soon as you walk into the mall, what do you see?
Me: Okay, so *describes a good portion of the mall* and-
Mom: *covers my mouth* Okay, I said the hall when you walk in, not the entire mall!!
