On Sept. 28, you were wearing a black sweater and headphones and took a photo of two female students from behind on the ———— University campus. You weren’t even being covert about it. You angled your phone awkwardly at their buttocks and hurriedly put the phone in your pocket afterwards. I hope…

I understand why, as parents, you were concerned about me moving in with my boyfriend. I was the last kid out of the house and I guess you hoped that I’d find a place of my own instead of “shacking up” with someone in my early 20s. What I didn’t realize was…

Had I known you’d be living in the apartment below us, I never would’ve signed the lease. Three months into our new life in a semi-bad neighborhood, now paying twice our previous rent, we start hearing your loud thumping music below our unit at 6am, as well as your regularly scheduled loud…

You and your husband were making your way onto the plane and I saw my future in 40 years. Faces serious and determined, steps hobbled and measured, white knuckling bags that couldn’t have weighed more than a sack of groceries. My parents taught me to respect my elders, so I offered to…

It was late and I wanted a smoke (I know, I know—I should quit) but the urge was too great, so I took a seat on the patio and inhaled the sweet relief of nicotine and early onset lung cancer. I usually don’t sit on the porch late at night, as the…

There’s nothing quite like a BBQ to enjoy the summer swelter, so I thought I’d invite some folks over to enjoy the day. Enter my good friend’s husband, who, since having two kids back-to-back, has not seen the outside of his house except to go to work. Not a minute went by…
