I hate marching band, mostly because I think all the notarizing is unnecessary and also, Im a huge jerk. But my son loves it, and was thrilled when they won Class A MN State Champ Something Something (I may have stopped listening). But I rallied with praise, like all good moms: We did it! Marching Band is over! My son, well used to his jerk moms jerk ways, laughed. You cant pick me up yet, he added, because of the police escort. No, of course not, that would be--what? The police escort. Guilt clawed through me like a chocolate craving before breakfast. Im so sorry! Sure, I walk by the police station all the time, and yeah, I might have used the words crazed marching band vigilantes but I didnt mean for the cops to come get ALL of you. Mom. They were just supposed to scare you! MOM. They always do this when we win State. They did it last year, too. Oh. Right. I remember, I lied. (The minute marching band is over, I repress everything. EVERYTHING.) Im glad I didnt get you in trouble. This isnt about you, Mom, he said kindly, this is my thing. It is. Yes. Congratulations! Bring Dairy Queen. A reasonable request, so off I went. I had my marching orders, ysee. (See what I did there? Subtlety, thy name is me.) Anyhoo, great kid, great marching band, great Buster Bars. A great day.
