His response to my (heavily expurgated) copy was (and I quote) "Guznurk" followed by a bout of violent coughing. Later that afternoon Gary sent an ema...l to the effect that this years trip to the Nevada desert was mine. What his response would have been had he seen the full story bellow is another matter. Its the same story every year. The boys return to the office and spend the next two weeks telling us every detail of their visit to Burning Man. For three years I listened to the stories. The piece of chicken was tiny. But Molly was just going to live, it seemed, because she said, "Well, I guess size doesn't matter."This is when my brain blurted out, without thinking, "Are you sure? Maybe it does."Molly, who is quite outspoken and blunt (I think that was one of the things that attracted me to her in high school, to begin with) responded with, "Uh...I've had a lot of 'chicken' (you could actually hear the punctuation), they all fill you pretty much the same."Now......here's where. ’ “That’s pretty normal stuff Jeff. Even more normal would be that your prom date had a pregnancy scare because her menses came a week late.” Jeff cocked his head suddenly. “How the hell could you possibly know that Kat?” “One, I am a psychologist and have heard that story from a hundred clients. Two, and this is only for your ears my friend, except that it happened in a dorm room, my coming of age story is nearly identical.” “Okay, moving right along Jeff, what happened with Shirley after. Sharp?" Yes. Oh, you didn't realize who it was. Sorry about that." Where are you?" Wenatchee. I don't think I'll be able to get home tonight." Don't risk it if the roads are bad. Tami can stay here." You're sure it's all right?" Mom said anytime." That's such a relief. You'll go get her?" I don't think she's home." Where... ?" I think she's still at the dance." The dance? What time is it?"I looked at the clock over the stove. "Just a little after ten." She should be home."Silently I agreed with.
