I grew up in the midwest where when the family was visiting friends and one of my parents announced “Well, we gotta go” and they stood up to leave, it could still take 45 minutes to get out the door, the conversation was still going. Getting off the porch would take another 15 minutes. After 10 minutes in the car, the conversation was still going. After starting the car, the conversation would still be going another maybe 8 minutes before finally pulling away… Drove us kids nuts!
