"I'm not a little kid." You insist. "I can go to boarding school." You try to sound confident. You are scared but you don't want to disappoint your father.
"You see." Your father says to your mother. "Then it's settled."
The arrangements are made and you get on with the remainder of the school year. Eventually, the summer holidays arrive and quickly fly by until suddenly it's time for your to leave for boarding school.
It is a very long drive. You try to entertain yourself with your comics but after an hour you are distracted by the pressure building in your bladder.
"How much longer?" You ask.
"At least three more hours honey." Your mother replies.
"Can we stop somewhere?" You ask. "I need to pee."
"Why didn't you go before we left." Your father asks the same stupid question he always does.
"I didn't need to." You explain.
"I thought you were a big boy." He teases. Frustrated that he needs to interrupt the drive.
He stops at the next petrol station and you run to the toilet.
The drive continues and you return to your comics.
You make it just over an hour before you regret drinking so much soda on the trip.
You don't want your father to tease you again. It can't be that much further. Maybe you can make it.
