BB worries a lot about the most unlikely things. This week she had the electric company not liking our community when the power went off during a windstorm.
Today she said, "What if you have a heart attack" about something I don't recall and when she heard the TV news that air cargo was poorly inspected for explosives. She said I should consider not flying. I said Oh; I guess I should buy more life insurance. How much was that condo you wanted? I was going to seriously ask "how many planes blew up this year" and when she said "none" I was going to say "I guess it is safe to fly" but thought, no that is just getting into her stuff. It is better to not say anything.
I am getting better at not trying to fix her anxieties and staying out of her crappy notions.
Quote: But I give you credit for worrying about what she would think under the circumstances.
Concerned or worrying is the right word. I guess it comes from those church policies that the woman's husband has to be there or you have to bring your wife if any male visited any female. Those 1950's "Leave it to Beaver" values die hard. I think most married couples on TV then had twin beds. Not very realistic.
