18 Minutes of Constant Chatter

I pick up 10thGrader after school each afternoon. It takes 18 minutes from the time he gets in the car until we get home. Those 18 minutes are filled with his day - what he did in class, what homework he has, what observations he made. Those 18 minutes of constant chatter about whatever is on his mind.

If I didn't see him until after work, I'd miss that. I cherish and treasure those 18 minutes. It's my favorite part of the day.
