| Summary, Etc. |
The lazy sun peeks out from the clouds as Mama and her daughter wait for their cross-town bus. Saturdays aren't for sleeping in. Saturdays are for the egg crackin', pancake flippin', orange juicin' brunch shift. A shift Mama can't afford to miss. To pass the time, Mama and her daughter tell stories -- first, they're brave knights escaping a dragon as they hop on the bus. Later, as they do the dishes, they're digging for gold during the gold rush! Sometimes, though, the girl imagines herself with the families in Mama's section -- cheersing with hot cocoa before they head to the park. Sometimes she wishes she had someone else's Saturday. Here is an ode to working parents everywhere, and an ode to the magic of childhood and the power of a parent's love.
