Five times a day, yep, no matter if there are tornado winds, an earthquake or flood, she gets a call from me. Five times a day, every day, all year, for the past five years.
Everyone loves their momma, right? But when daddy died, she turned into the neediest person you could imagine. If the world dissolved around us both, she would still expect me to call her at least five times a day. I think my daddy was a patient man.
It just occurred to me, he was a traveling sales man…
No wonder daddy lost his job!

Suddenly, five a day seems like too much! I appreciate the subtle humor used to soften the edges of the story. Good take on five a day.

I can’t imagine calling and talking to anyone on the phone five times a day. Texting, maybe, but definitely not calling.
