I gave it some serious consideration over the next few days. When I had some time in between my work shifts and running errands, I looked up some schools in the South Jersey area. Rutgers had a pretty good reputation, though I doubted I'd be able to get in. I looked up my local community college and browsed through their programs. None of it seemed too hard, except for the fact that I hadn't been in school for nine years, and I wasn't sure how I'd do. I'd done well enough in high school, A's and B's, and maybe the occasional C when I just wasn't trying hard enough. Community college wouldn't be too hard. It would more be a matter of finding time for it without the rest of my life falling apart in the process.

I headed into Ari's room and sat next to her on the bed. “Ari, I want to talk to you.”

“Ugh,” she said, pausing her XBox game. “Here we go.”

“Oh, come on. Give your mom a break. This isn't a bad talk.”

She rolled her eyes at me. “If this is about porn, eww, I don't look at that stuff anyway.”

“How do you even know what porn is?” I frowned at her.

“Mom, come on. It's the internet.”

I sighed and leaned back, banging my head against the wall. Oh, the joys of raising a millennial child.

“Okay, no porn. Remind me to have you teach me how to install parental controls on your computer.”

She rolled her eyes at me. “Sure, okay Mom.”

I knew it would be a waste of time. The kid knew more about using computers than I did. But then, she'd grown up with them. I always came to her when I found a virus or something on my PC.

“Okay, but seriously. I want to talk to you about me going to college.”

She shrugged and unpaused her game. “Go for it.”

I put a hand over her controller. She yanked it away. “God, Mom, you made me die!”

“Can we talk for a minute, please?” She paused the game again, giving me an impatient look. “I'm thinking about going back to school. I need to know how you feel about that.”

“It's cool with me.” She shrugged and pushed her glasses up her nose. “We get money when you graduate, right?”

“If I can graduate, yes.”

“Cool. So do it.”

“You know it's going to mean more work for you.”

She gave me a wry look. “Why? I've got my own homework.”

“I meant around the house. I'll need your help keeping up with things around here.”

“I already do that,” she said. “I do my laundry, and the dishes, and yesterday I cleaned the bathroom.”

“You did?” I hadn't noticed, and I suddenly felt bad for that. “Well, I'll have to give you a raise in your allowance. Or, well, give you an allowance.”

She grinned real big.

“After we get the money.”

“Oh, fu—” I shot her a sharp look and she laughed. “Fudge. That'll be forever!”

“Well, it's the best I can do. So, are you seriously okay with this?”

“Yeah.
