We each hold our little
iPods close to our face.
“Gosh, I can’t believe you guys have another snow day. Seriously, I picked a good winter to get out.”
“Yeah, it’s freezing here,” Talitha tells me, “and we are supposed to get more snow again tomorrow.”
“I know I shouldn’t complain, but I’m also freezing. My apartment’s so cold!”
“Yeah, but what is it in Spain, like 60 degrees?”
“Maybe…” I slowly give in, “but there is no central heating so it’s also 60 degrees in the house! I’m still wearing my winter coat over a sweatshirt and that thick grey jacket I have. I have on leggings under my jeans and I have on two pairs of socks. Normal ones and then the ones we got last Christmas.”
“Me too!” she says, “I have mine over other ones.”
I laugh, “Really? I never take mine off. I think I’ve been wearing them since December 25th of 2012. They are starting to wear through at the bottom.”
“Mine too!” She sticks her foot up to the camera, and sure enough her pick patterned socks are worn through revealing her sock underneath.
I smile and look at the bottom of my own sock. It’s a deeper magenta but with the same patterns and the same hole.
