"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Won't some of his friends be hitting driving age now? I think that tends to relieve a lot of parental entertainment responsibilities (which may or may not be comforting).

Emmett himself is driving age though he doesn't have his license yet. And a lot of his friends are driving already. Unfortunately, there's local driving around the neighborhood and then there's having them face rush hour on the Bay Bridge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Emmett's 17 now, isn't he? Or close to?

(I know my little cousin is a year younger, and he just turned 16. And is ENORMOUS!)

Public transportation is always good for wasting time.

I don't remember having major summer plans in high school -- went to camp for a week or two, did some babysitting, generally hung out the rest of the time. I never had a full-time job until after I graduated high school.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Teen driving in California and Colorado is also limited during their first year. In Colorado for the first 6 months, they can't drive another under 21 year old without an over 21 year old, licensed driver in the car. For the second 6 months, they can only drive one other under 21 year old without an over 21 year old, licensed driver in the car.

We run into this with ARP, multiple kids from the same neighborhood driving alone to calls cause they can't carpool due to their ages. They have to wait a year before they can get approved to drive the team vehicles (including lights and sirens).

So maybe I'm going to set up a personal tumblr that's all Idris Elba, Chris Hemsworth, and feminist rage. That makes sense, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I can see that.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

At some point in my past I must have been an organized person. Just found out that I not only owe this year's auto excise tax, but last year's as well.

Also I have to get my car inspected. I don't think that the excise tax requires being paid for that.. but better to take care of it now, right?

I love you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No. Unless you misspelt Evans. In which case I'd like to both intern and subscribe.
