"Do your best at work mom!"
I gave her a thumbs-up as she kissed my forehead.
"You too, do your best at school!"
She grinned at me as I nodded eagerly.
Mom stepped inside her own car and waved goodbye to us as she drove her car.
I turned my head and got inside my dad's car.
"Don't forget your seatbelt."
"Yes!"
"Bring your bento?"
"Yes!"
"Phone?"
"Yes!"
"Do you forget anything else?"
"No, Sir!"
I cheered as he chuckled and started the machine.
"Alright then, let's go to your school!"
My dad's workplace is near to my school, which is why this time I ride with my dad instead of my mom.
The hospital mom worked in was near my middle school, so I used to ride with her the time I was still in middle school.
But now it feels like a whole different experience riding with my dad to school.
I couldn't help but grin along the way.
"Are you that excited?"
