Fawlty Showers

Drifting Away

“Anyway, five minutes ago you were yelling at a chair and saying this was the best #$%@ donut ever,” I pointed out.

Dana started to say something, but the intercom clicked on.

“Do you two think you could get through one morning without swearing?” Katy said.

“I’ll #$%@$ try,” I said, and waited for Katy to laugh. Silence.  “Sorry.”

I turned to Dana, “Do we swear a lot?” I asked.

“I think we’ve kind of drifted into it,” she said. “I blame you.”

We talked about all the bad habits people drift into a little at a time.

After she left, I thought drift was more dangerous than rationalization, because rationalization took effort, drift did not.

 

Today I’ll beware of drift.
