“What’s he done now? Did he find himself a Bernie floozie? They must come in all ages and sizes in Berkeley,” said Mrs. Claus.
“He took the keys back to the Twitter account,” said J.J.
“That’s it? It’s just Twitter. How bad could it be?” asked Mrs. Claus.
Mrs. Claus put her cigarette down in her ashtray and shook her head. They had had their issues over the years and it wouldn’t have surprised her if he had chosen Berkeley for a specific reason.
“Who’s Bernie? And what does he have to do with this?” asked Liz.
“There is a presidential election going on in the United States and Bernie Sanders is a main Democratic contender,” said J.J.
“An election already? Isn’t it next year?” asked Liz.
“Yes, but they like to get started well in advance,” said J.J.
“But that is fortunately not our problem here and now- what’s going on with Mr. Claus?” asked William.
“First he moves just before Christmas and now we have the very real worry about him being him without a filter as well,” said Mrs. Claus.
“That’s not the only thing. We can probably live with that— although it doesn’t appear to be a successful medium for everyone,” said Liz.
“Let’s not bring the Telsa dude into it. We should really be focusing on the secular celebration of Christmas and not business or politics,” said Mrs. Claus.
“Tesla dude? Yes, you’re right about that, but that is not who I was thinking about,” said Liz.
“Oh. I nearly forgot about the other dude. How could that happen when we were just talking about the election?” asked J.J.
“Okay, okay, let’s park those other high profile Twitter accounts and get back to Mr. Claus,” said William.
“You’re so boring,” said Mrs. Claus and took a sip of her coffee.
“I may be boring, but Mr. Claus has a tendency to spice up our lives without bringing other instigators into the mix,” said William.
“So, as I was saying he took back the keys to the Twitter account,” said J.J.
“And that could be an issue- that’s for sure. But aside from offending a few parents how much trouble could he cause?,” asked Liz.
“Well apparently he has bought a dog and is posting about it constantly,” said J.J.
“A dog? That sounds innocent enough,” said Liz
“Worst case is he offends cat lovers. We can survive that— surely,” said Mrs. Claus.
“But we know how fast things can go sideways where this thing is involved,” said J.J. as he held up his phone.
