OMG.

I need a car. My grandparents got plane tickets to see me graduate and they arrive like, tonight. and my folks too, and I dunno if they're renting a car or getting a cab or what but I so do not wanna make my grandmom deal with cabbies. I think she'll hit them. She hits ME.

And it can't be Forge's car because they're like, old and I don't think they want to drive at 80 hojillion miles an hour. And I don't HAVE A CAR.

How have I been here for four years and not know how to sign out a car? Oh. Right. I got my license only a month and a half ago.

I was just heading down to the garage to do some work on my bike. I could help you pick out something grandparent-appropriate.

Please. Because if I show up with anything that doesn't look, you know, like THEY could afford it, one of them is gonna ask if me I'm stealing cars again.

I mean, they won't be mean about it but it'll come up.

Yeah, cause if I know my grandmom, she'll bring like, eleven bags and a suitcase full of food. I swear, she thinks I'm skinny. I AM NOT SKINNY.

You should see the way Deborah's constantly trying to fatten Alex and I up.

It's a grandmom thing, right? I mean, it's like, you get a grandkid and they give you this book and it says "No matter what your grandson looks like and how much muscle he has, you have to insist he's skinny and needs to eat more."

And "But I have a funky metabolism!" doesn't work as an excuse.

Does yours tell you that your hair is too long and that you need a haircut? I swear, I should have never told about the internet and phone pictures.

No. I get the "When was the last time you took a vacation, Scott?" and "That job offer your grandfather and I were talking about is still open, Scott."

At least you didn't get "Why didn't you apply for the University of Montana? Then you could come home and have a nice home cooked meal every day after class!"

I swear, she thinks I never eat. I should have gotten Lorna to write her a letter before she left. "Dear Kyle's Grandmom. Kyle eats at least 5700 calories a day, 2000 of which are protein. If he doesn't, as his nutritionalist, I yell at him a lot. He eats plenty of vegetables and fruits too. He knows how to cook without using a microwave and he takes multivitamins. Love, Lorna Dane."
