As I suggested in the first column (where I listed items 1-7), just in case you believed you were the only one who ever performed a certain behavior, be assured that everybody you’ve ever met has had a version of the following experience:

8. Despising the smallest of tasks so profoundly that you will do almost anything to avoid them, including marrying someone who promises (explicitly or implicitly) to relieve you of responsibility for the following: replacing clock batteries, typing, filling the ice tray, emptying the dishwasher, buying toothbrushes, peeling fruit, cleaning the lint-filter in the dryer,  checking to see whether the replacement light bulb is of the correct wattage, running vinegar through the coffee-maker once a month, replacing windshield-washer fluid, knowing where the hell the Scotch-tape is, picking up the dry-cleaning, and composting.

9. Thinking you would look truly excellent in a very big hat.

10. Being able to locate the position of a letter in the alphabet only when you can sing the whole alphabet song silently in your head.

11. Tying your shoelaces by using the bunny-ear method taught to you in kindergarten.

12. Believing that, aside from the alphabet and tying your shoelaces, you did not learn everything you need to know in kindergarten. They did not, for example, teach you how to lobby successfully for the maintenance of health-care benefits in the workplace when the bosses (who, after all, can hire private nurses when they get sick) decide that upping an individual employee’s the co-pay amounts can save the company a total of at least, oh, $56.78 per year. Nor did they teach you in kindergarten how to choose a savvy but socially responsible financial advisor, one with integrity, in order to secure a decent retirement.
