Without All the Train Wrecks, Though

Yesterday after school my friend arranged to pick me and Emmie up so we could all hang out.  I had just flung my schoolbag down and grabbed a quick bite to eat when she pulled up in the driveway.

"Bye, Dad!" I called, as I hauled the baby in her carrier out the front door. "I'll be home later!"

As I got in my friend's car it dawned on me: Hey, a few minor differences and my life is just like a teen mom's!
