I had the best belly laugh this morning after I dropped my son off at school. When you exit the school, there are two lanes that turn in opposite directions, and a Volvo station wagon pulled up beside me. I was expecting to see a soccer mom with no makeup on, but instead a biker with a rat-tail pony tail and big hoop earrings stared back at me.
