The mean boys huddled nearby, looking over, hoping my mom wouldn't rat them out to their moms. Mom called to them, "That's really original, I wish I'd thought of that." I can pinpoint that as the single happiest moment of my life, because I realized then that Mom would always have my back. It made me feel giant. I raced back down the concrete ramp, faster than I ever had before, so fast I should have fallen, but I didn't fall, because Mom was in the world.
