Copycat
An ancient conversation:
Me: "I really love those pictures of Suzie sleeping in the dresser drawer. But, I'm afraid to post them."
Zach: "Why?"
Me: "Because then people will know that we have the ultra-cheap IKEA dresser with the flimsy drawers that even a cat, with a few swipes, can open."
pause
Zach: "Is there anything on Earth that you DON'T worry about obsessively?!"
pause
Me: "I resent that! You know very well that there are a good number of things not on this Earth that I worry about as well. Did you know that a Type II Supernova event within 8 to 10 parsecs of our solar system could destroy the ozone layer?!"
Zach: "I'm going to bed."
For the record, it is written in my baby book that my first words were apparently a panicked, "Uh-oh!"
