I was thirty minutes late because of traffic. Another ten minutes were wasted ringing the doorbell of the parent who texted me they had my back... But didn't get my kid. My kid, when I finally realized no one had come, was sobbing in the principal's office.

As a long time resident, I make lots of new friends, but not with people who hate the city I love. And judging an entire city by one neighbor? Interesting.
