It comes up in conversation more often now that the end of life as I have known it for seventeen years is closing in. The ultimate question I am asked is if I'm ready.
“How was your day?”
“Fine. Like every other day.”
“Anything exciting happen today?”
“I said no.”
“Got any homework?”
“Some."
"What do you want for dinner?"
"I don't care. Why are you bothering me?”
