Pick-ups and Drop-offs

One day, however, if all goes well and you are very, very fortunate, there comes a different kind of drop-off, one often made by automobile. There will be no pick-up, at least for a while. By this time, the children are no longer little. To their parents and everyone over 30, they’re still babies, but they feel old and wise beyond their years (a symptom of being in your late teens and 20s). Yes, this is a different sort of drop-off all together.

Remember how they cried when you dropped them off at preschool? Now it’s your turn. No need to look up “bittersweet” in the dictionary. You’ll get three scoops in a waffle cone.
