the wife is the designated worrier for the family. the boys and i skip through life intoxicated with thoughts like, how many bees can i fit in my mouth or do rotating fan blades taste different than a stationary ones.
the wife worries about shit that only she can imagine. thoughts like replacing all our forks with plastic ones on the chance an escaped mental patient breaks into our home and tries to kill us with our own fork.
so anyway, school starts today. the first day of kindergarten for son 2. last night she confessed to being nervous about it. knowing a little about how her brain works, i jokingly teased her.
me - you know your going to have dreams tonight about forgetting your locker combination or forgetting an exam or missing the school bus.
the wife - i have those dreams every day of my life, why would tonight be any different?
i can only wonder what it's like to be a prisoner of her brain. but i really wonder this paper clip would fit in that electrical outlet over there. it looks like a perfect fit.
