@Chris – dinner trumps lymphoma

Her latest is to talk to you while you’re carrying a plate of hot food, you just took out of the microwave.

The plate is burning you, and your dinner is going cold at the same time, so you’re aware of great impending pain and disappointment.

You’re just on your way out the door:
“Do you remember the Smith’s, Chris? Well, their little daughter Jenny has just been diagnosed with lymphoma.”

“Oh that’s nice…”

@Natalie – just make sure you don’t do it while they’re busy.

And that is exactly the type of snark I plan to aim in my kids’ directions in the next 15 or so years!
