What’s really going on here is that Luann and Tara are competing for Piro’s attention. Maybe not for romantic reasons, but competing all the same. I think Luann felt a connection back at the fair when she was backstage with Piro, right before she performed. Tara laid claim to him because they’re cousins, and apparently they have a history.
Oh man, my parents leaving us at home was such a joy! No Parents! Once the eldest of us was about 12, they started leaving us home alone for a couple of days – someone would come clean the house, do laundry, and cook dinner – but we’d have to clean up after dinner, do our homework, put ourselves to bed and catch the bus in the morning by ourselves. (And we never missed the bus!)
The first time I bought my own car when in 2003. I’d landed my first career job and saved up a down payment. I figured a Honda would be a good start because of their reputation for reliability. I had my financials in order as to what I could afford, knew what I needed and shopped online until I found a car that I liked.
My mom dropped me off to see the car, I test drove it, and purchased it. While they got it ready for me, I sat with my anxiety that I just bought a car and took on a large debt with my first “large” monthly payment ($200 USD). I settled my nerves by committing to paying it on time every month, because I already knew I could swing it.
That 2000 Honda Civic with 66,000 miles lasted me until 2013, with 210,000 miles. The main reason I sold it was because it was a coupe, I was expecting my first baby, and the infant safety seat did not leave room for a front passenger. I believe a father bought it for their teenaged driver.
I love hearing what more experienced people remember, about how things were and what they did to survive, the twists and turns in their lives. But I’m a sucker for true stories too.
Exactly. And why do they have to do everything together? Have separate lives outside of the relationship too. Then they’ll have more to share with each other on those evenings staying in.
