You are a very good mom! Also, kind of sneaky considering the wage stagnation. 

I’ve blocked out all memory of the PABT. The whole experience was a miserable stew of noise, diesel fumes, human fumes, and flickering florescent lighting. When I get to hell, I won’t be at all surprised if it’s the PABT, with or without a bathroom.
