After I ate, Mom asked if I'd eaten garlic the night before. "Yes," I replied. "Warren wanted 'garlic pizza' for dinner."
"Well, you reek of it."
"Thanks for the compliment -- garlic is wonderful stuff and I love to eat it. Besides, it's LOTS better than body odor."
Or some such. (I'm sorry, even before I lost my parents I had gotten past letting them make specious, petty putdowns. Maybe that's why when we argued, we fought. And when we fought, the earth trembled.)
In any event, glad you arrived safely. Go have fun in Boston!
