I bolt up, kicking plants every which way and almost snicker at the shock on their faces when purse held to my chest I make a life or death decision that probably has no good ending either which way I play it.

“Crocker.”

Mari’s waiting for me as I rush out and grabs my hand, letting out a yell of terror when the clop of those shoes starts drumming behind us.

“Oh God, run Rox.”

And we do. Hard. Breathing heavily. Slipping and flailing on the slippery, highly polished floors as the sister thunders after us.

“Jesuuus, is she like the freaking Terminator!” Mari yells, her face a study in fascinated fear when we smash into the wall directly in front of us and slip before gaining traction and running right.

I look back for a split second and almost laugh when I see that black habit billowing out as sister Agnes runs our way, looking like a machine in all her hairy legged glory.

“I know your family!”

“We’re sorry!” I yell, flinging us through the door and hitting the pavement at a dead run. “We know they’re terrible but God loves all his children.”

“Yeah, even you sister Mary Ag-ass face,” Mari yells, just because she can and well, because she’s Mari.

I feel all kinds of free at that moment as we beat feet down the street, Mari snorting through her mirth, me feeling all Gump-like as I finally get one over on the system that is the Catholic family way.

I feel like I just won, like my life now has meaning. I mean…

And that’s how I end up with an aversion not only to corn, but broccoli as well. Man, those nuns do not understand low fibre diets.
