We’re getting ready in the morning, and Jessica pops into the kitchen where I’m gathering my keys.
Me: Here, let me help you with you hair.
Jessica: What’s wrong with it?
Me: It needs to be a little neater.
Jessica: Like how neat does it need to be?
Me: It needs to be 100% neat.
Jessica: How about 80% neat?
Me: Deal.

Don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter! I give random stuff away—and I tell more stories. Just wander over to my homepage.
I look forward to hearing (Yes, I actually HEAR them.) random conversations you have with Jessica. I don’t know if it’s because of your uncommonly good writing or Jessica’s uncommon ability to “cut to the chase.” Either way, when you write, I win.
