I would never tell Bess, but I fucking hate school drop-off in the morning. It's always a cluster fuck of cars in the parking lot with a bunch of minivan-driving soccer moms who think that their schedule is more important than everyone else and we can just wait. Then there are the looky-loos, who like to stand out in front of the school, gossiping about all the other parents, the kids, and the teachers. I can feel their eyes on me the entire time I'm stuck inside the roundabout, waiting for my turn to pull up to drop Jack off.

It's still better to drop off than to pick up because at least I don't have to get out of the car in the morning. In the afternoon, you have the incredible misfortune of having to actually go inside to sign your kid out due to safety protocols. I get it, I don't want someone else getting my kid, but those moms are bitches.

Finally, I pull up to the point where Jack is able to get out of the car, but I'm still stuck behind two minivans and a Volkswagen that for some reason are incapable of finding their way out of the motherfucking parking lot. It's not Narnia. Just follow the traffic signs and go, but no, that would be too easy. If they did that, then they would have to stop applying their mascara, or whatever other bullshit seems to make them, incapable of putting their foot on the gas pedal and moving the goddamn car.

You might say I'm a little anxious to get back home. What I'm not doing is paying attention to my surroundings. So, when someone bangs on the passenger side window, I jump out of my fucking skin. Of course, when I look over, it’s that asshole, Griffin.

He opens the car door like he didn't just shave off five years of my life, and he climbs right in. I turn to look at him and raise my eyebrow waiting for him to tell me what the hell he's doing in my car. He doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry, so I go ahead and ask him. “Don't you have your own vehicle here?”

He shoots me a look like I'm crazy and makes himself comfortable. “Of course, it's parked about four cars back. We aren’t going anywhere for a while though. These bitches like to take their sweet-ass time getting out of here, but it was my turn to take the kids to school because Wren is a little tired this morning.”

“Fucking fantastic. I need to call the crew into the bar so they can get everything cleaned up and I wanted to spend some time with Bess before I had to get some work done. I thought we had everything sorted out last night, but she's acting a little weird this morning. Also, if you didn't keep your wife pregnant for the last ten years, give or take, she probably wouldn't be so fucking tired.
