Midwestern Goodbye

A midwestern goodbye is like purgatory. There is no escape.

When you're little it happens like this:

You: MAMA WHEN ARE WE GOING HOME *CRIES* I'M TIRED

Your Mama: Just a couple more minutes, I have to say bye and find your daddy

You: Okay :)

*7 hours later*

Your daddy: *slaps knee and sighs* Welp, I spose. We gots to get home, little Timmy is tired

Your uncle: You haven't even finished your beer

Your daddy: I'm driving pal

Your uncle: Lemme walk you to your car then

Your daddy: *rolls down the window to talk to your uncle*

*3 hours later*

Your daddy: oh gosh look at the time, we gots to get goin.

Your uncle: Your tire is looking a lit flat there bud. roll er into the garage and I'll top er off for ya

Your uncle: boy it sure is chilly and I's can see your hot n cold ain't working too good, why don't yous come inside and I'll grab your leftovers too.

*the cycle of the midwestern goodbye will continue on until one of you dies*

Long Goodbye

Typically used to describe the last encounter between two friends, lovers, or family members before a long leave of absence (or in most cases, permanent).

Note: The literal saying of goodbyes doesn't necessarily have to be drawn out. "Long" only clarifies the fact that the people involved won't see each other again for a long time (if ever).

They said their long goodbyes before Tommy headed out west.

I hate the long goodbye.

I wish I had known that was the long goodbye. There's so much more I would have liked to say.
