Past time to leave
Small socks on floor, rejected
Toe seams not straight
Late again, dammit.
Breakfast book too engrossing:
Captain Underpants
Random new vocab
Interrupts dressing, big time
“Gluteal cleft,” ha!
One egg and toast gone
Child still hungry but we're late
How can I say no?
Time to get in car
Bowels demand attention
Late again. Worth it.
Booster seat harness
Engineering degree needed
Fingers fumble hell
SUV driver
Laughs into phone, waits to merge
She will wait longer
Line of cars at school
Eject kids in slow motion
God help me, please move
The vice-principal
Sees us but still locks the door:
We will have to park.
Arrivals Notebook
Weird pen with cap, confusing
Intelligence test
Principal watches,
Offers advice on routines
I try to self-soothe
Child walks to classroom
I drive home alone slowly
Seeing the bare trees
