A better hug

Mechel: “Tattie, when you get older and shorter… ”

Me: “I’m not planning on getting shorter, Mechel.

Mechel: “Bubbie said she got shorter.”

Me: “OK, anyway, what will happen when I get older and shorter? ”

Mechel: “I’ll be able to hug you better.”

Me: “I think you’ll get taller first.”
