See You Later, Alligator

Saying good-bye is not always fun.

Right before Christmas last year, I got a post card from Sunshine.  It was an unexpected surprise. 

It made my day.  

A few days after that, I was in a call with Mother and Z.   As we were saying good bye, Z said, "See you later, alligator!"  

I replied with the most logical reply I could think of, "In a while, crocodile!"

The repartee was brief but it made me smile.  I wanted to have other witty replies for future good byes  so I went to google and found this in youtube.

I gathered up a few more lines and with MyGirl's help (and Apple's emojis), we came up with this collection in time for Christmas.  I had them printed out in Kmart as pictures and fridge magnets.

We have one of the prototypes in our fridge ready for the next call.  

Toodle-doo, Kangaroo!
