On the first day of summer break,my parents found me another job. “Handing out samples at a warehouse store.
The story so far
On the first day of summer break,my parents found me another job.
“Handing out samples at a warehouse store.The hourly pay is decent,and it’ll teach you how to deal with people.”
They had been feeding me the same line every year since I started college.
The first summer,they sent me to a meat-packing plant on the edge of town,then took my sister to Washington,D.C.,to watch the Fourth of July fireworks.
The second summer,they made me work night shifts at a gas station convenience store,then paid for Ellie’s expensive driving lessons.
