While I attempted to engage in a discussion about conservative social movements, she waited for me outside, parked under the shade and ready to emerge at a phone call's notice. Next month, it's my 22nd birthday. I envision turning 28, with my mother ready to drive me to work, and determine that I'd rather risk another encounter with an airbag...
