I feel really dumb saying this out loud or typing it whatever but like, my kid is in middle school now and it's been like a year and a half, I think? Yeah, since sixth grade started, and I still see all the other parents, like, hanging out? They have coffee after drop-off at that one place, The Daily Grind, always like four or five of them laughing, and I just… I never get invited. Like, I’m always there, I see them, sometimes I even smile, but nothing. And it makes me feel like I’m in middle school too, trying to figure out where to sit at lunch, and like, I’m 44 and I’m just trying to make enough money doing these DoorDash runs so we don't, you know, run out of milk, and I feel so stupid caring about this, like, WHO CARES, but I do. A lot.
