It’s Elementary by Elise Bryant
“You just looks so young!”

It makes me want to roll out my whole resume to justify my place, Like, I have a master’s degree from UCLA, lady! I was eight month’s pregnant with Pearl at the ceremony, but still! I’m grown, just like you! I use Sensodyne, and I have enough white hairs that I can’t keep casually plucking them without looking like a “before” in one of those women’s hair loss Instagram ads I keep getting, and I am pretty sure my back hurts more than it doesn’t hurt now, and I’m wearing Old Navy Pixie pants. There is nothing more grown than Old Navy Pixie pants!”
