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.”
