Backstory: I’m in Spain for a semester abroad and Dad is coming for a visit.

Mom: Daddy flew home last night and spent the night in CT, then left this afternoon for the airport.  He is excited about your weekend together.  Heard that he rented a car.  If my memory is correct, the roads in Spain between Madrid and Grenada can be steep and twisty so if anyone tends to get carsick they should sit in the front.  He has your stuff (I hope) but I don’t see it anywhere around the house so that’s a good sign!  Love, the Mama

Me: I was a bit curious why his itinerary showed him flying out of JFK.  So he just came home for a day?

Mom: Quite frankly, your father came home for a booty call.
