On the weekend before the semester started, my brother Tony and I went to a movie—we saw Bugsy, starring Warren Beatty—and afterward, over cheeseburgers, Tony said, “Did you hear Dad got in a fender bender in the parking lot of Menards?”

“I thought he wasn’t driving anymore.”

“Is that what he told you?” Tony scoffed. “At night maybe, but he still drives during the day.”

“Was anyone hurt?”

“Not that I know of.”

“I don’t think he could pass the driving test if he had to take it,” I said. “Do you?”

“There’s no way in hell.” Tony bit into his cheeseburger and said with his mouth full, “When we’re all at Hughie’s, want me to steal his license out of his wallet?” Our brother and sister-in-law hosted an annual Super Bowl party, which would occur the following weekend.

“Like that would do anything,” I said, and Tony laughed, then so did I. Not because it was funny—learning that our father was still driving was distressing—but because it was true. And also because it was nice to be out with my brother, eating cheeseburgers.
