6:30 a.m. I awaken from sleep with the unparalleled energy of someone who has an entire school-sanctioned day to humiliate their offspring.
6:55 a.m. Peering into my closet, I select the skinniest jeans I own—seriously, I haven’t worn these since before my preteen was born. No matter. I squeeze my unforgiving middle-aged body into them while double-checking that I still have the breathing capacity for yelling at middle schoolers every ten seconds.
7:30 a.m. I bound to the kitchen to pack my child the smelliest lunch possible, ideally some combination of tuna salad and egg salad. Naturally, I make sure to tuck in a note including several giant drawn hearts and “I LOVE YOU!!!”s. I sign off using the name my child used to call me when they were three years old.
8:15 a.m. We arrive at the school parking lot and gather by the bus for head counts. I immediately announce myself to everyone as my child’s parent, being sure to enunciate their full (including middle) name.

“A national psyche is loosened when someone is allowed to publicly flaunt the agreements we have all made with one another.”
The Desperado: They get a dreamy look in their eyes, then, before you know it, swoop in quick as a bandit and shove their tongue down your throat.
The Zombie: Their lips are stiff and dead, and you want to whisper, “Pucker up, you lifeless weirdo,” but you can feel yourself become infected, the passion slowly draining.
The Lollipopper: They suck on your tongue like a child sucking on a Tootsie Pop. You want to say, “Hey, that’s bad, stop that,” but you can’t speak, because your tongue is vacuum-locked in their death grip.
The Kubrick: Toward the end of a long, intense make-out, you realize their eyes are open—and you get the creeping sense they’ve been open the whole time.
The Escher: You try to get solid contact, but the angles are just wrong. Their head is strangely tilted, and their lips don’t obey the laws of Euclidean geometry. Nothing makes sense.
