All That Remains

Interesting things don’t often happen around here.
Panel 1, I’m on the phone with my mom, who says “Did you hear? They found a skeleton when they were digging up the road!” Panel 2, I’m looking interested, and I say, “Interesting. Depending on how old they are, there are only a few people it could be.” Panel 3, my mom, looking annoyed, and I say, “We don’t have that many unresolved missing persons in the area, you know.” Panel 4, back to me, she says, “You know a concerning amount about this subject.”
Hey, I don’t make fun of her hobbies.

  2. Yeah, I'd be questioning how you knew that, too. Although, I hope I wouldn't be making fun of it.

  3. I guess when you've lived somewhere a while you know its history. Just not where all the bodies are buried!
