So you think you're all cool and not at all worried about allergies. You're sure you're not harboring low-level anxiety at all times.
And then your cell phone rings in your office while you're at work, and it's someone calling from the preschool, and your heart is racing as they're saying, "This is so and so from such and such school, and I'm just calling because..." And you're thinking to yourself, "How fast can I get there?"
Except that all they are calling about is the fact that school pictures are happening on a Monday, but your daughter doesn't attend on Mondays, so you'll need to make a special trip to drop by if you want to have her included in the class photo.
Oh.
Okay.
So, um? No one's dying?
Fantastic.
We'll be there at 8:00.
Oh, and p.s. did you know that you just gave me a heart attack?
(No, I did not say any of that. Was just thinking it.)
Anyway, apparently I need to take a chill pill.

ah yes, I used to have that reaction, until I started getting daily calls to alert me of an "uncontained diaper."
Hopefully all calls from school will go something like that!
