Papá siempre decía: "La palabra crisis es sólo otra forma de decir oportunidad".


"No. It's not okay. You're not going." He used the voice.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. I said no."
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"Oh yes I can—I'm your father!"
"Since when?"

I have no idea what it is. All I know is that my bike slams to such a sudden stop that my butt comes off the seat and my feet leave the pedals. But I continue to grip the handlebars because I have the crazy idea that if I just hang on, everything will be okay.
