I was at a family gathering because Tom was leaving for the summer. People were making shish-kabobs of whole raw veggies in this order, mushroom, tomato, pepper and something else I can't remember. I went to get myself some BBQ raspberry leaves but they were all gone. So I was about to make some more: I preheated the oven and put BBQ sauce all on my plate, but I couldn't find any fresh leaves. I asked my Dad and he said Tom ate them all. Tom wasn't there this whole time, but he entered just then. I didn't confront him about the leaves because it was his last day here. Then he had to go.
Mom was going to drive him and I was going to come. She tried to navigate her way out of there and we were soon in a commons pedestrian walkway. I said, "No, that's a one-way." Mom said, "So what?" I knew how to get us out of there but could not articulate it. We were driving in the way of people setting up a bakery. Finally Mom turned around and I was relieved.
