There was a sudden jolt

Most middle school kids want to be treated as adults.
Basketball coach to reader — don’t.
The Oakhurst Middle School boys basketball team piled into the school van for the short trip to Wanamassa Middle School for a schedualed game.
As coach and only adult in the group, it was necessary I drive the van.
Backing out of the parking place in front of the school, I realized I couldn’t see out of the van’s rear window; tall preteens.
“Hey Mickey!” I asked the team’s awkward gangly twelve year old center, “Is there a car in back of us?”
“No” Mickey.
Crash!!
“Only a truck.” Mickey added.
They’re just kids I reminded myself through gritted teeth.
