The backstory: As the end of the decade approached, JT and I heard a number of news stories about previous transitions to a new decade. This led him to ask me where I had been in other -9 years.
Mama: In 1979, I was only 12 years old and I was living in California. In 1989, I had graduated college and was living in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1999, I was living in Nebraska, waiting for you to be born. And in 2009 I'm living in New Jersey with you. I have no idea where I will be in 2019. Where do you think you will be that year?
JT (in an exasperated tone): Well, I'll be in college, OF COURSE.
So no matter where I am in 2019, I guess I'd better be working, so that I can pay Mr. Smarty Pants' tuition.
