memoir: for a brief period of time during the seventh grade i was driven to school. i say brief because my mother quickly decided that i was too fat to be driven anywhere. my sister would, however, continue to be driven to every destination for fear of abduction. the last ride i received ended with me stepping out of the car as my mother began speeding away. she ran directly over my foot. when i yelled in pain, she began laughing maniacally, mockingly pouting 'sowee' as she sped off.
