" Instead of doom and gloom, Dad seems...transformed. He has a smile on his face, eyes closed. Water is pouring out of the shower spigot, down his face, over his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Did you actually ride a bike? Mom asks.
No, he says. I was FLYING.
And no matter how mad Mom is, I'm suddenly triumphant too, that I could make him feel that way.
Like we can really do anything together.
Even if it takes ten thousand tries. "
