Most of the talk was the usual chitchat you’d expect when a kid was speaking to a parent who’s away on a business trip. So, I kind of tuned out and was almost dozing off. Then I heard Kevin say, “We’re on our way…No, stuck in traffic…so far, like 20 minutes…It sucks…I’m hot ’cause we had to shut the car down, so no A/C…I really need to go to the bathroom…I don’t think I could…we’re in the center lane and what’s Carrie going to do, hold me up while I go against a tree…I don’t really want to…Why? Cause it’s embarrassing…it’s different when I’m at home and in bed…it’s just different…”
I pretty much knew what this part of the conversation was about so I wasn’t really surprised when I heard, “Carrie, Mom wants to talk to you.”
“Hey Terri. How’d your trip go?” I asked.
