“I’ve always worried a lot and frankly I am good at it.

I worry about introducing people and then going blank when I get to my mother.

I worry about a shortage of ball bearings.

I worry about a snake coming up through the kitchen drain.

I worry about getting in the Guinness world book of records under pregnancy oldest recorded birth.

I worry what the dog thinks when he sees me coming out of the shower.

I worry that one of my children will marry an Eskimo who will set me adrift on an iceberg when I can no longer feed myself.

I worry about scientists discovery someday that lettuce had been fattening all along.”
