The Reassuring Hum of Celibacy


Note to parents everywhere: This holiday season, if your twentysomething single daughter is visiting your home for an extended frame of time because her house in Soutwest Detroit caught on fire, and then:

a) she disappears, and
b) you hear an inexplicable humming noise,

this is NOT a cause for alarm that requires investigation. The hum is simply a normal sound made by a celibate sleeping daughter. It is the sound of her not bringing into your home a man of varying national origin, a range of married faculty or, god willing, a Really Nice Girl.

Certain activities are best performed in an empty home.
You may have gotten used to the freedom to do it whenever, but when living with others, particularly your mother, best to probably wait until she leaves the house. Or use it in the shower perhaps.

I got to know did she just walk in or pull a knock and walk in?

I want to say something about a table saw but I can't seem to finish a thought right now.

Table saws are loud.

I would also like to say "Yes" and "baking pan".

That is all.
