Fawlty Showers 2
Dana practically bounced into my office, a bag of black licorice in hand. She extended the bag to me.
“What are we celebrating?” I asked, taking two pieces.
“She’s not pregnant,” Dana said. “Not even a little.”
I started to say something about pregnancy being an
either/or thing, not a little/lot one, but asked instead, “Who’s not pregnant?”
“The Princess. I spent the last two weeks worrying about
what I’d do if The Dope Without Hope got my daughter pregnant in Mexico.”
As I chewed on the licorice, Dana added, “I knew I was
worrying about something that hadn’t yet happened, but I couldn’t stop myself from
making all kinds of insane plans.”
“So you worried for nothing.”
Dana nodded, “Next time I won’t throw The Dope off the
proverbial bridge until we come to it.” She took a bite of licorice. “So to
speak, although I won’t rule out throwing him off an actual bridge.”
Today I try not to worry about things that only might happen.
