The New Normal

 

After dinner, I suddenly received this text from my brother, Kip...

"Watched Dick Johnson is Dead on Netlix OMG.  Felt all the feels!"

Immediately, I responded, 

"I thought I was going to sob out loud during. So so good!"

Then, I looked at the texts and realized that I had just responded to my own text message.

Panicked, I quickly asked Benja to remove the errant text, not wanting to look cray-cray.  Now, of all times!

Benja did so, while pointing out that there was no way he could erase the text on Kip's end.

So I texted, "I just realized I just responded to my own text.  Am so embarrassed😳."

"Feels like THAT is where we are in this pandemic.  Responding to ourselves."

Followed by, "Benja pointed out that if my text was deleted to you, then I would sound EQUALLY insane."

Kip responded, "Insane is the new normal."

I just think right now, there is a LOT of energy going into at the very least appearing sane.

Plus, there's nothing like living with a teenager to let me know that I am actually NOT as cool as I thought I was.
