OK, how long does it take to get to Target and back?

Longer than you think, when you're a nervous mom, waiting for your daughter to return from her first solo flight to Target.

She left to go pick up a gift for a friend. Ten minutes later, I'm waiting for her to come back.

"She's only been gone for 10 minutes," Gary says, as he beats a pot roast into submission.

"Seems like it's longer," I said, still staring out the window, willing her to return.

"It hasnt' been, so calm down. Go out and weed," he said.

So , I did, and soon enough, she showed up again, wanting me to go driving with her down to Kinkos. She's already angling for another solo flight.
