Fawlty Showers 2

 

Do They Make a Self-Absorbent Paper Towel?

Epiphany stroked Mojo, wiping away a tear.

 “My mother says that until Mojo I was completely self-absorbed, concerned about nothing and nobody but me.”

Epiphany wiped away another tear.

“Did you think I was self-absorbed?” she asked.  “Only thinking about myself?”

‘You were an endless narcissistic documentary on your own life, narrated in great detail by an annoyingly whiny voice,’ I thought.

“A little,” I said.  “But Mojo gave you some of that self/other balance. You take care of yourself, but also think about other things as well, including people and pets.”

Epiphany smiled. “Balance,” she said. She scratched behind Mojo’s ear. “Who’s a good doggie who gave mommy balance?”

 

Today I’ll find balance between taking care of myself and thinking of others.
