where the party at

Before the bus gets to the bottom of the hill and we kiss good-bye for the day and I walk back home, Herself says to me "Now, you know what to do in case someone tries to take you."
She's serious.
"Yes," I say, "Run away. And fight, if they try to grab me."
"Kick them in the balls, Mom," she says, cupping her hands in front of an imaginary wounded groin. "That'll stop 'em."
"Okay."
The bus stops in front of us; the doors open. She gets on; the doors close and the bus drives away. I walk home, unmolested.
