My mother calls every Sunday at 10:15. She has called every Sunday at 10:15 for as long as I’ve lived in this house, which is twelve years. Before that she called at 10:00, but I asked her once to push it back because Zoe’s swim lessons ended at 10 and I was always in the car when the phone rang. She adjusted without comment and has hit the new time with a consistency that I find both comforting and slightly unnerving.
