We’ve just got things. We’re getting older and we’ve got things. You have that weird thing you’re getting help for, and I have this thing that keeps happening and it needs to stop happening. You need to see someone. I need to see someone. I need to see someone about my thing.
I looked up my thing and sure enough, it’s a thing.
Let’s sit down and talk about our things. Do you want some wine? Tell me about your thing. Were you carrying something? Is there something you should eat that you’re not eating? I know a person with this thing. Do you want to talk to that person?
No, I do not want to talk to that person. I need to stretch more. What about your thing?
It’s probably nothing. It’s probably just a thing that wasn’t there before and now it’s there. Some things just pop up with no notice. It’s just a thing we need to keep an eye on. How about we try to remember. Say once a month or so, we think hey, let’s look at that thing.
Is there a cream?
I could try ignoring it. It might go away and then one day I’ll say well look at that, that thing I had is gone. Or by then there will be a new thing, and I will have forgotten all about this thing.
Someday the things we have will still be things, or we will have new things altogether. We could have one big thing and then the other things are just things that don’t matter anymore.
Either way, they are just things.
