I shipped the boy off to his first day of high school today with his shiny new bus pass. He overslept and took a 15 minute shower, but eventually I got him out the door. His eyes were glued to his phone, his fingers never missing a beat on the key pad; he was late meeting his friends. This is his first time taking a transit bus to school and with only 5 kids from his junior high off to the same school, he didn't want to have to go alone. My heart went out to him - I know he was nervous. I was too on my first day of high school. But reality hit him hard this morning. There's no more sleeping in every day. There's no more luxurious 15 minute showers. He's back at home now and I get to be the bad guy.
I hope he knows where to get off and transfer.
Tomorrow is my turn. Ugh.
