Hopefully Never Again


What is different about school starting this year ??

I am free! I don’t want to jinx myself, but today my youngest brother went to high school -all grown up- so no more dropping off to school in the morning. Especially this one, he takes forever to dress up in his everyday school uniform. So no more making sure he’s up, no more horrified that I’ll be late dropping them off and then to work

How long did this tradition go? Well ever since I got my license. My big bro, my lil sis and I would rotate the task. I would drop them off and pick ‘em up, sometimes I take them to breakfast in the morning or to the “dikan” or buy ice-cream after they finish school. And the consequences I suffer after a hot day in the playground playing football

“OH MY GOD, you guys smell awful … open the windows … ‘7ayastooooneeee offfffffff”

How time flies by so quickly? When it’s the first day at school and they want to go extra early to have a go at the front seats. Sometimes I’m their human dictionary asking away questions and solving their homework on their way to school. When they forget their pocket money

I have different memories about all various routes to their school in all types of weathers!! Shortcuts, long way, avoid traffic, alternative … memories …

Will I miss it? YES … but as long as I don’t have to do it again …
