ONE PLACE ONE DREAM
“If a toilet appears in your dream, it reflects your feelings about that personal, private business. If the toilet in your dream seems to be everyone’s business with missing stall doors, no privacy and on-lookers, this dream is a sign that you feel that others are nosing into your private life and you wish they would leave you alone. If the toilet is overflowing, this symbolizes a blockage in eliminating difficult feelings and emotions in waking life. You’re emotionally constipated.”

We’ll flee in panic from a harmless spider, yet invite dogs and cats to live in our homes, despite the fact that over 86,000 of us end up in the emergency room each year when we trip over our pets. And other domestic animals are no safer. The woman in England who saw this escaped cow looking through her door was right to be afraid: about twenty people a year are killed by these allegedly placid bovines in the US alone.

- The Boy: I want to be a grownup because grownups can do whatever they want.
- Me: You're right—I could go buy ten Snickers bars and eat them all right now. Or go watch the same movie seven times in a row. But I don't want to. The thing about being a grownup is that you don't want to do all the crazy stuff you used to daydream about when you were a kid.
- The Boy: Yeah but grownups can do whatever they want.
