  • And still some won’t care. Worked at a bar for a bit. After work one night with a bunch of coworkers drinking. One had had too much but wanted to drive home. It would have been trivial for myself and one other sober person to get both her and her car home safely. She was still fumbling for some reason she needed to drive as we’d negated every excuse she had so far. Then in a small moment when we were distracted, she full on sprints away giggling and drove home. It was like one of those scenes about the troubles of parenting where you set the infant down swaddled, buckled in a carrier, and seemingly safe. The parent looks away for half a second. Cut back to the infant playing with a bottle of acid sitting in the knife drawer with their head inside the mouth of a lion that is now inexplicably in your house.
