Laff it or Leaf it

"I love how strangely nostalgic I feel at this time of year. I'm so alive!"

 

Pace yourself, Dad. Ranting of which: if winter is winter and spring is spring and summer is summer, why is fall autumn?

 

"I heard somewhere that the Innuit have forty names for snow!"

 

...Dad...name one.

 

"...I can't."

 

Well then. Some people don't like the autumn because-

 

"Let me stop you right there. It's not, "the" autumn. You can say, Some people don't like the fall, or you can say, Some people don't like fall, but you can't say, Some people don't like the autumn. It's just, Some people don't like autumn."

 

You're losing it. I've heard people say the autumn.

 

"Nope. Never."

 

For the sake of argument: Some people don't like the fallautumn because it brings on depression. In Dad's case, a kind of strange anxiety.

 

"It's not "the" fallautumn, just fallautumn!"
