The midwest goodbye is just the second half of the visit.
When a Midwestern person wants to leave, hereās what we say.
*slap both knees* āwelp, I āspose itās that timeā = weāve been small talking delaying the fact itās time to go
āWell, Iāll let you goā = used on a phone call to politely say itās time to hang up
āWe need to get together more oftenā = this is plenty, we do not.
āTell your folks I say hiā = one more pleasantry before leaving
