Cautionary Tales

Let this serve as a warning, for this is what happens when certain persons become edgy and/or vexed with Questions of Life (especially on Wednesdays).

Should anyone in your acquaintance begin to demonstrate this level of internal turmoil, you should bring them many offerings of chocolate. Perhaps even a nice chamomile tea. With honey. If you are calm and caring in this act of supplication, they might not stab you with the sharp objects in their hands. And maybe they will even make you something. Or maybe not -- particularly if you are not really a 'purse' sort.
