“Girl, WHAT is that?!

Is that actually what I think it is?!”

“I honestly have no idea what to think right now!” I typed back, which was a lie, because I had a very clear and very wrong idea of what to think.

“Brenda, call the police right now!” Margot fired back.

And then, half a second later: “Or wait, do NOT call them yet!

I’m sitting at my desk at work and I cannot handle this kind of stress!” Which perfectly captures my sister, a woman capable of both dialing 911 for you and asking you to please have your crisis at a more convenient time, in the same breath.
