The Metaphorist Explains, Pt. 2

You know how you're about 23 or 24, just old enough to have gotten a taste of independent adult life, only you find that independent adult life, with its crushing mix of obligations and responsibilities, has just kicked your ass? And although it's the very last thing you want to do, and an admission of defeat, and a humiliation, you have to call your dad and ask him to lend you some money?

This is like that.
