Like a good dip, there are 8 layers to a Midwestern goodbye:
- about to leave warning
- a "welp, spose it’s time” statement
- knee slap
- walking to the doorway
- conversation in the doorway
- hugs
- placing hand on doorknob
- more hugs and waving as you’re driving away
I needed to get more of these pre-tryout advice messages out and this one is super important.
Enjoy every second of the experience. You never know when it's going to be over.
