The suburban loser sits with his eldest son at a famous restaurant near the city college campus. It's dark grey outside, but still too warm for snow. His eldest son hasn't even been away at college for a full semester yet, but he already wants to come home. The suburban loser wants to know why, but his eldest son doesn't know why either. Two big reuben sandwiches get delivered to the table with a basket of french fries. The suburban loser asks if this is like the time in middle school where his eldest son didn't have friends anymore, but his eldest son just shrugs his shoulders and picks around his food. He tells his eldest son he'll always be there for him, but he thinks it would be a good idea to stay and maybe tough it out. Life has challenges sometimes. The suburban loser never got to go to college, you know.
