It reminded him of when he was a kid. When he was a kid they’d have to go to daycare everyday of the summer. Always to this ladies house, and then they’d stay there for a few hours until all the kids were there, and then they’d drive to another...

A guy next to him belched, and someone else coughed. Bringing him...
