Some mornings I listen to the news in my car on the way to work.
Most mornings I listen to silence.
This morning, I listened to “Money Trees” by Kendrick Lamar as I sipped my coffee like a bad ass.
I may have swerved around in my lane a bit?
Hip hoppin to school.
Loose.
“Ya bish, ya bish”
To be in touch with a side of myself that, for most of the day, is tucked away behind a cardigan sweater and backseat to classroom management.
As I rolled up to the school parking lot, I turned down my car speakers shrinkingly.
“Can we listen to music while we work today, Ms. Dobrinski?”
“Sure, as long as it’s something appropriate for school.”

I can just see you, the cardigan wearing teacher jamming out to that rap music. Love the twist at the end!

Ha! I can relate to having to turn the jams waaaay down upon turning into the lot. And possibly once upon a time forgetting to pre select songs from my library before letting it play. I’ve never dived so fast for a keyboard in my life. 😉

Love this!! I also love to turn it up on my way into school. Don’t turn it down as you pull into the school parking lot. Keep that sunroof open and them windows rolled down. Great irony here.

Fun post. I love how you explore the many facets of self that a single individual can embody. Just like code switching with language, we learn to navigate between these selves on a daily basis.
