On A Bus
78-year-old Frieda tried to maintain balance while holding her bags. No one offered to exchange places, never mind looked up from a cell phone.
"People used to give an old person a seat," said Frieda out loud.
A seat? The young driver had seen nothing like that in his experience. "Sit here for a minute," he offered.

A few blocks after Frieda had driven erratically, a policeman signaled the bus over.
"Enough," he demanded, tired of her playing on the sympathy of young drivers to gratify her bus-driving-desires. Enough with the previous warnings. He never trusted little old ladies anyway.
