To-infinitive

If I got hit by a bus tomorrow, this is the one idea that I would want to leave behind.

The comparative

So, like one day I was walking home from school and I heard the radio off in the distance and as I got closer, it was coming from above, which was a strange kind of orientation.

Past simple

And I look up and we had a two-story house and my mom, who's tiny, is perched on the top of the two-story house, like very precariously.

And when you're little and you're short, it just, everything is amplified.

And I was like, Mom, I was like, is everything okay?

And in her very Jersey accent, she's like, uh, Rhi, I'm fine.

He said, it's going to be at least 500 bucks.

And I was just like, okay, you know, that's mom.

Another time I came home and I heard the radio like blaring from the back of the house.

So I walked to the back of the house and I saw the bathroom and it was like, the door was cracked open.

And as I pushed the door open, the whole room was filled with dust particles.

There's like pipes sticking out of the wall.

And she said, you know, the tiles had cracks in them and I didn't want the bathroom to get moldy.

Now, Tom, you got to get this again is the 1980s.

This was pre-internet, pre-YouTube, pre-Google.

I never knew like where I would find my mom or what I'd find her doing, but that radio was always my clue.

So one day it was in the fall and in New Jersey, you know, the daylight savings had already passed.

So it was dark and it was spooky and I went home and it was totally silent and the house was dark, which is very odd for my family.

So I walk in and I had that pit in my stomach that you have when you're nervous that something's wrong.

And I start walking around the house and I didn't know where my mom was and I felt like something bad had happened.

Then all of a sudden I heard these tiny clicks and clacks and I followed the sound to the kitchen and I saw my mom hunched over the kitchen table.

She had like electrical tape and screwdrivers and in a dozen or so little pieces, her Tropicana orange was completely dismantled.

I was like, mom, that's your little radio.

You know, the antenna was off and the dial was not working right.

And that was the first time I thought to ask the question that I really needed to ask all along, which was, how do you know how to do so many different things that you've never done before yet?

And she like put down her screwdriver and she cocked her head and she looked at me and she's like, what are you talking about?

You can do anything you set your mind to.

If you roll up your sleeves, you get in there and you do it.

And I was like, like just in that moment.

And I will tell you this, I don't know, Tom, for sure whether she said those three words or that's what my childhood brain heard and translated because you know how we do that kind of thing.

But that phrase got embedded in my soul on such a deep level.

And I just said it over and over again, like from continuing to get rejected on like sports teams and cheerleading and going again and again and like getting out of an abusive relationship to getting every part time job I've ever gotten, every full time job I've ever gotten, building the entire business.

Like I still use that phrase every single day.

I realized as I became an adult, it's been the single biggest driving force of my life.
