Tribal Rituals in the Grocery Store November brings the sleep challenges of Daylight Savings, storefronts festooned with premature Christmas decorations and, for parents of college students, the eager anticipation of having all pups home. The return of the college kids is like a reverse migration on the African savannah—all the cute little impala heading back to the nest instead of to a far off watering hole.
This is beautiful! I love all of the imagery and how you explore all the unspoken dynamics of parenthood so deftly. I’m at the beginning with my 8 and 10 year old, but I look forward to being where you are with your older one. It terrifies me too tho - how old they get so quickly … Love the new title! Enjoy the holidays. Look forward to your next installment!
Really enjoyed the article Priya.
