I’m late one time – ONE TIME – and get the guilt trip of a lifetime.
It wasn’t my fault. The traffic in my area is ridiculous. Any trip under ten miles takes 23 minutes and involves 42 traffic lights, 756 cars, and 3,454 curse words.
I’m still unfamiliar with the surrounding towns and often miss entrances, exits, and street signs. One missed turn adds another 10 minutes.
The oldest kid didn’t care that I was a few minutes late, but his little sister read me the riot act. She was worried no “one was coming to get them,” even though dozens of kids hadn’t been picked up yet, and the school has an after-care program.
“I might be late, but I would never, EVER forget to pick you guys up.”
“I told her that,” my son added.
“Where were you anyway?” she asked a few minutes into the ride home. “You’re usually always here super early.”
“I gave a talk to a group of high school freshmen?”
“About what?”
“Being a writer.”
“And they listened?”
“Yes. Some kids actually listen to me. Imagine that.”
