[ i proceed to make my vegetales fruit snacks begin to dance. ]
my mom: you have doctors appointments wednesday, and two on thursday.
me: two on thursday?
my mom: i want you to get your meningitis shot and talk to a doctor about your insomnia.
[ the dancing stops. ]
me: i can't do that in one visit?
[ a beat ]
my mom: nervous about moving yet?
me: no.
my mom: just... please, please, travel in groups.
me: thanks for the tip, mom. i remember the buddy system. third grade wasn't that long ago.
this is what i've been putting up with for the past week. i don't think i'm going to make it to next week because i may throw myself from my window before then.
