fine, alex, it's fall (49/100)

The weather is still in the 90s. We were supposed to have a cool front today, but it stalled just west of us.

Alex: “It’s fall.”

Me: “It’s 90 degrees, Alex.”

Alex: “It’s fall.”

Me: “Alex, fall doesn’t begin for another two weeks.”

Alex: “It’s fall.”

Me: “What has gotten into you?”

Alex: “I need this summer to be over. It was interminable. I will not be able to make it. It. is. fall.”

Alex goes upstairs to light her pumpkin spice-scented candle. I go outside for some fresh air.

I look down, and there is a single leaf … that is turning colour.

Me: “Huh. It’s fall.”
