This podcast episode is from December 2016. Now my brother Ken has two cats of his own, Lucy and Jackson. When he comes home at Christmas and for a couple weeks in the summer, there are five cats in my mother's house!

LnR 086 I call Ken (Replay)

Nancy: Hey, Kenny, when did you (whendidja/whenja) get home?

Ken: Oh, about two hours ago.

N: Did you (didja) have a good drive?

K: Yeah, no problems. I drove through Atlanta before their morning rush hour, so that was OK. The highways through Alabama and Mississippi were fine, too. It rained a little when I hit Arkansas, but not for long.

N:That's good. Did you (didja) enjoy Mom's surprise?

K: Yeah, that was so funny! I couldn't believe that Mom had gotten a new cat! I was so surprised!

N: You've got to (gotta) send me some pictures.

K: Yeah, sure will.

N: Well, I'd better let you go (letcha) go.

K: Yeah, it's getting late here. Almost time for bed.

N: Sleep well. Tell Mom I love her. Love you, too. I'll call again on Christmas Eve.
