Descent

Right before landing in cloud-covered Salt Lake. A week later, this conversation:

Leta: “Mom, the guy on the news keeps talking about Salt Lake.”

Me: “Okay.”

Leta: “Well… I keep getting confused. I mean, I always think he’s talking about Salt Lake City.”

Me: “He is. sometimes people drop the City part, and they are still talking about the same place.”

Leta: “I don’t think people should do that.”

Me: “Why?”

Leta: “BECAUSE IT CONFUSES SIX-YEAR-OLDS!”
