| One of my least favorite phone calls was when D called and said, "Mom, Broadway is so busy at 3 a.m. I had absolutely no fear walking from N's dorm to my dorm alone."
Sigh.
I said, "I know you're going to do these things, but do you have to tell me?"
D started going into the city very young for dance and many of her friends navigated alone, so I just had to get used to it.
I worked in Manhattan at fifteen and made the commute myself so I really didn't have a leg to stand on, unless anxiety produces an extra leg. If so, I was an octopus. |
