Time For A Group Hug

This old gal…

Found reprieve from the DC heat…a seemingly mile long escalator ride underground…in the metro…a savvy subway rider this girl is not…had to stand the first trip as all seats were full…no bars open to grip either…so Smidgethebeast held on with two hands…while the rest of our gang…held on to Smidge…

The neon light flashing…tourist…illuminated above the group…physics coming into play…this old gal losing balance and flailing with each acceleration…

Smidge calling out…plant your feet people…plant your feet…I’m losing grip here…

Learning took place…stand in a corner…plant feet firmly…anticipate the rush forward…and if possible….get…a…seat…

All was not won…figuring out the feat of not falling during the ride accomplished…this old gal still had to master the use of the fare card…scan it correctly…the gate opens…

Bumble around and lay the card on wrong…again and again…and you will be left behind…for others to document…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
