    My defining moment was the second I heard the garage door rising; my mother walked through the door, and I remember her saying her stereotypical line of, “Do you have anything to tell me?” Once my mother says this, confessions should just begin occurring, because it signifies that she already knows what you have to tell her, or what you have done wrong, and it’s easier just to fess up than to act unintelligible.
