Escape Plan

One of my most glorious moments was when I beat the boy in Commando Challenge.

We are watching Commando, an Arnie classic circa 1980s. A challenge! “Let’s see who guesses most next lines”. Our eyes slit and we grit our teeth.

He, a lifelong Arnie worshipper, sneers at me. He knows he will win! He is a boy! And I am a girl!

I sneer back. I know I will win! Yes I am a girl! A girl from Scotland with shit cold summers, a fun  sister and Commando on vhs that we will watch 20 times. A week!!!
