How Did You React to Seeing: "You are Admitted...Congratulations!"

We were on the way to get oil change for the car but first checked the mail that Saturday morning. That was my first acceptance letter. While trying to look cool (having pledged to be a true cool teen ever to be moved by anything), my jaw fell open, seeing my mom lose it. Her actions confirmed that she totally lost it when all she could say was “my son made it to college!” instead of “can I have the oil changed and the wipers too?” to the guy at the lube station. He had a look of pity for each of us for different reasons. She made it worse by blurting out that I was born on that campus. The guy scrambled and our car had one of the fastest oil changes in its 100000 miles history.
