Brock’s talking about his daddy made Calvin conscious of the fact that he hadn’t spoken with his folks for a couple of days. At a stoplight Calvin got out the Bluetooth earpiece, pressed the button, said, “Mom and dad,” and the phone did the rest.
“Calvin, honey,” his mom said when he’d identified himself.
“Just thought I’d call…you know…to see if you two were doing okay.” The light turned green and Calvin eased forward.
“Uh, yes. Your father and I are both well.”
They spent a couple of minutes discussing the weather, how they were all settling in, and so on. Calvin could tell his mother was surprised to hear from him. Rarely did he call just to chat.
“Have you two made any friends down there?”
“Yes, we’ve been invited out to a bridge game at the country club as a matter of fact.”
