Not Optional

"May I have your ID?" the masked young woman at the health department asked. I was at one of the many many checkpoints on my way to receiving a COVID vaccine, and I was prepared, I handed her my drivers license without hesitation. "Oh!" she said. "Hello!"

I cocked my head. She looked familiar, but the mask--

"I'm Molly," she told me. "I took your class a long time ago."

I knew who she was then, and I giggled at her choice of verbs. "Sixth graders don't usually "take" English, though, do they?" I teased her. "It's more like they're forced!"

"Right," she shrugged, "but I liked it!"
