My mother is 95 today. Her first caller is her ex-son-in-law. He brings lilies- which I stick in a wine bottle because nothing else is slender enough. They have a conversation- part of which goes...
Ex S-I-L: X was working at Cern
M: What do they do there?
Ex S-I-L: They're trying to find out how the world began...
M: Hmph! (pause) Does it matter?
