Me: Sweetie, how’s your first trip to Canada?
O: It’s great! My only regret is that I forgot to pack WILD.
Me: Are you kidding me? Didn’t we just have a talk about not taking books off my nightstand, WILD in particular?
O: But I didn’t take it.
Me: But you planned to.
O: But I didn’t.
Me: Not because of The Rule! Just because you’re absent-minded. Which is why you would’ve left it in Toronto. With all my marks and annotations inside. When I have to teach it!
O: I don’t understand why you’re so agitated. You’re the one who asked how Canada was!
Me: Oh. My. God.
