I really should have known better.

But for some reason I didn't think this would happen.

Of course it happened.

Kill me.

Kill me and for the love of god watch out over the next week if you're trying to get rid of those bats. Don't be me.

Congratulations!

[wherethewildthingsare]

I'm extremely unproud of this.

[floret]

Aren't you?

[wherethewildthingsare]

I didn't intend to become mistakenly famous, so I'm a little scandalized.

[floret]

Maybe, but . . .
Not everyone gets the newspaper, and not everyone who does would have checked that section. And not everyone who did would have recognized you.

So by enclosing the snippet here, weren't you kind of . . . drawing extra attention to it?

Didn't you, perhaps, actually want to show everyone?

[wherethewildthingsare]

That's all very astute.

You should go into profiling.

[floret]

Wow, thank you!
I'm actually hoping to become a surgeon, but if I end up as a failure at it, maybe I'll try again with profiling.

In any case, I really don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. It's sweet, and also kind of impressive.
