My name is Gypsy.

I was the one the mother’s didn’t let their daughters hang out with. 

Were you a good or a bad girl?

Everyone thought I was bad which was crazy if you knew my parents.

There was no drinking, dancing, or dating, let alone what the other mother’s thought I did.   

I was a good girl growing up, I obeyed my parents. I feared the consequences.

Now that I’m on my own I do what I want.   

Not the thing those mother’s worried about.  I do the things my parents never let me do.  It’s been liberating.

“Sorry” Joey said rolling his eyes to his friend.”

“That’s okay; my grandparents listen to the same station.”

“I can’t wait until I’m old enough to get my driver’s license.”

“It’s going to be a long time before that happens for us.”

“My grandpa has already been showing me how to do things on a car.”

“Why?”

“They used to do that in the old days all the time, he says it’s cheaper to do it yourself.”

“Do you think he would show me?”

“I could ask him.”
