We were both barefoot. “Mom, were you naughty this weekend?” I teased.Mom laughed. “Honey, I was naughty when I left. It just went downhill from...there!”“So, what did you and the Bakers do? Get two rooms and flip to see who stayed with who?”“No, nothing like that. We got a very nice suite with a couple of rooms.” I must have looked confused since she continued. “It’s like a small apartment. We had a small living room and two bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms.
