“My nephew slept over recently. He’s three. In the morning I asked him if he wanted french toast for breakfast, and the kid goes, ‘It’s scary.’ I wanted to tell him that that wasn’t an appropriate answer to my question. Nobody is scared of french toast. But the therapist in me recognized that there’s no emotion that isn’t valid. You want to be afraid of breakfast? Knock yourself out.” Molly stared down the oncoming traffic. She took Skyler’s point. It was okay to fear anything, even french toast. As long as you ate it anyway.
