People (including one of my academic advisors) begin playing spin the cell phone. Two of the girls at the table start making out while the husband of one watches. Someone pours a packet of sugar in my hair. And a second. My cell phone rings. “William, your mother is on the phone.” What timing. I’m tanked and Ma finally remembers to call.
