her test for her permit. we drove down to a run-down commercial building with a huge parking lot with my cousin's ramon and patrick. they both graduated from high school this year, and have become very close even though they themselves aren't cousins; with ramon coming from my mom's side of teh family and patrick, from my dad's side. "if you could back in park, you could do anything." i tell smeagal as she adjusts the seat and grips the steering wheel for the first time. what a natural driver! she learned what took me 5 years to learn in less than an hour of practice. i tell her other rules of the road while we are driving.
it was clear that night so we took a couple exits early off of i-5 to cruise past dash pointe. couples hold hands and walk along the dock as the crescent moonlight reflects off of the waters of the sound. "i never got why people drive to a place to walk. you could walk anywhere" says i.
"yeah."
"another thing that i thought of... when you do get a boyfriend, keep in mind of how well he keeps care of his belongings. i think that the better a person will keep care of their car, room, etc. will be a reflection of how well they'll do in a relationship"
"yeah... kinda... but i don't really wanna talk about it"
i later think about it in my room and wonder if she's still WITH her boyfriend that she had in the philippines.
