[First lines of the series]
(narrating) The day I turned sixteen, I got my driver's license, and suddenly, I was free. I could be out on the open road with nothing but my own dreams to guide me. I could let the wind of adventure blow back my hair as the beckoning horizon pulled me ever onwards.
[Cut to reality]
But instead, I'm just driving my little sister to and from soccer in my mom's minivan.
Kevin, you're not just driving me to soccer! I have flute lessons tomorrow, remember?
This is my life.
And on Friday, you're taking me to Tina's birthday party.
Chauffeur to a grade schooler.
And then, Saturday, I've got ballet...
I could be out there making my own destiny, but instead, I'm just spinning my wheels and going nowhere.
Just like Hamster! But if I hold him up like this, he thinks he's running super fast. Look at him go!
(sighs) I can't believe I'm having hamster envy.
