mom & dad are thinking about taking the car to the mitten to see their grandbaby, but if i can't switch my days at work, i'm a no-show.
mom: i'll rent you a car while we're gone.
me: no way, i'll ride my bike.
mom: absolutely not.
me: it's the most straightforward two-mile commute ever. there are sidewalks the whole way there.
mom: but it's cold outside! how can you bicycle on the ice? what if you have to come home in the dark? nuh-uh, no way.
me: it's cheaper.
mom: how can you think i would leave you like that? i wouldn't leave a dog like that. i hope nobody would leave me like that. it's cold outside. what if it snows? there's an intersection. how you gonna cross the intersection? it's crazy.
me: i have to grow up someday.
mom: NOT EVEN A DOG.
