My fear of needles is so intense that even under 200 milligrams of Valium, I still sharply pulled away from the surgeon when he went to give me the anesthetic for my wisdom teeth removal.

I will never forget the way your little nose twitched immediately after the vet said, "He's gone," as if it was your last act of defiance.

The doctor said, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be back up on the trapeze in no time, it's basically impossible to fracture your heels," right before looking at the X-rays that proved her wrong.

I never knew you called my mother, begging to talk to me so many times, until a random conversation with her some 20 years later.

I didn't realize I had told the very chatty customer in my checkout line my last name until he sent me a message on Facebook to ask where I lived.
