Symmetry

Remember this post about nutria?  Some of our best conversations (or at least the funniest) happen in the kitchen.  We had another short one the other day.

Important background information: I like love symmetry.  I love it when pictures line up just right.  When my hair looks balanced.  When everything just feels straight.  This does not mean there isn’t a place for asymmetry.  For example, in photography, you actually want asymmetry.  The reason for that boils down to mathematical principles, though, which suits me just fine.  :-)

Other important background information: The day before this short conversation occurred, I had seriously whacked my left elbow on the car door.  It was bad enough to make me nauseous.  You know that funny bone?  I can’t figure out why God decided that was amusing enough to include in our skeletal system…

Enough background information.  Now for the conversation:

*I slam my right elbow into the corner of a cabinet HARD, bounce around the kitchen yelping, and try not to cry.* (For the record – David kissed my elbow to make it all better!)  :-)

Me:  Good gracious, that hurt!

David: You need to be careful with yourself!

Me:  It’s not like I mean to do these things…  At least I’m symmetric now.  Both elbows will be equally bruised.

*seriously long pause where David looks very concerned*

David: Please never accidentally cut one of your legs off.
