Sydney, age 17 (entry #4995):

“Are you sure you don’t want to be a lawyer?”

“I might become one, eventually, but not now.”

“It’s just you were really good at arguing.” Mom laughs.

“No, you were a pushover.”

She’s made my favorite dessert, chocolate chip cookies. Now she’s pouring me a second glass of milk.

“Mom, I see what you’re doing, but I’m sticking to my choice.”

“It’s a dangerous field.”

“Oh, God, we’ve been though this over and over, Mom. Technology will solve our problems–”

“Look at what it’s brought us.”

She used to be scientifically-inclined herself, a few scrambles back, but then I was too young and very much into hardcore punk to care about anything. Mom and I always seem to change in phase with one another, meaning we never get along, unfortunately.

“I’m going in September.”

She smirks. “You know you’ll change your mind. Your precious technology will see to it.”

I stand up to leave but she’s quicker. As she’s walking out the door, she says, “Wash the dishes.”
