Just in case I need more practice...

Here it is, my list of things to worry about for the boys when I've run out of real things to worry about:

• That my boys will want to play football when they grow up.
  
• That my boys will listen to country music.
• That my boys will listen to pop music.
• That they will grow up to be Republicans.
• That they'll cut class in high school to do something like smoke pot or hang out with their significant others.
• That they will *never* cut class in high school to do something a little bit bad.
• That one day they'll want to spend every holiday with their spouses' families.
• That they won't like each other.
• That they'll grow up to be "supertwins"...you know, those twins who never spend a minute apart and only want to marry other twins and live together and work together.
• That they won't get into a good college.
• That they won't want to go to college.
• That they'll need to go into therapy because their mother is neurotic.
• That despite all advice I've gotten to the contrary, they'll got to high school either in diapers or sucking their thumbs.
• That I'll get called in for teacher's conferences every day because they're the class clowns.

Oh, I have plenty of real things to worry about. Just figured I should continue honing my skills. You never know, they may add an Olympic event in worrying, and I'd like to be ready to represent the United States.

So, what are your favorite non-issues to worry about?

Random unrelated thought: Despite saying that I was going to look for a short, light book to read, I picked up A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving. It's good so far, but I'm wary as the only thing I've read by him previously was A Son of the Circus, and I found that book to be an epic struggle between me and complete boredom. So he's on notice...this book better be great or I'm going to refuse to read anything else by him, no matter how many people tell me he's an amazing author. Wish me luck...I may be limping through this book for weeks to come.
