Reverse culture shock moment #1: I just got off the phone with Mom. We were talking about my visit to Colorado next week (?!) She asked if I was going to rent a car, since with some companies you only have to be 24...but wait, she said, I guess that's still a few weeks before your birthday. My first thought was no problem, I'll just bribe them. Picture me at the Hertz counter..."Is there anything I can do to...help with this process?" *idly fingers purse-zipper*
