The box

& 12 year old Max

· Parenting

I’m standing on the front lawn rinsing floor-mats with a hose

A pizza delivery car pulls up

Me: (Thinking he must have the wrong house)

My front door opens

Max: “Oh that’s for me, right here!”

Cash in hand

Pays the pizza boy

Takes the box

Goes back into the house.

Me: Processing what I just saw, garden hose still in hand, absent mindedly watering the pavement.
