[the setting:
poeticdream is driving into the high school this morning with me and
abigail_m to drop me off.]
robin: "look at all the cars. it's like a factory!"
me: "how so?"
robin: "all the parents line up, drop their kids off, and drive away with smiles on their faces..."
me: "wow. ouch."
robin: "see? smiling... smiling... she's smiling... wow, they're so eager they didn't even stop to let him off... he's on the curb and the car's still moving!"
