enjoy it while you can

Jump to Comments

the hum of excited con­ver­sa­tion at the din­ner table in the other room rose and fell rhyth­mi­cally. it pen­e­trated my thoughts and fogged any would-be clar­ity in chem homework.

joce­lyn skipped into my stud­ies and gaped. in her 9-year-old hands she held a cup of apple juice. i glanced up and a split sec­ond later, returned to Bond Enthalpies and Co.

her voice inter­rupted my train of thought. “andrew, what’s it like in college?”

i chuck­led. “i’m in high school, not col­lege.” i must be get­ting old or some­thing. or did she know some­thing i didn’t?

“ohhh.” slight pause. “what’s it like in high school then?”

i glanced at her and glanced back down at Bond Enthalpies and Co. what a ques­tion. you’re a lucky girl and you don’t even know it.

you’ve got more than you think you do.

enjoy your child­hood while you can, kid.

a deep breath. i grinned as best as i could. “it’s tough.”
