As a partner at a top law firm, my life credo is to be efficient and precise, and to eliminate all surprises.
Until an illustrator neighbor moved downstairs with zero life skills.
She burned cookies in the middle of the night and triggered the fire alarm, so I was forced to evacuate; she forgot her keys when she went out, so I had to take her in.
I couldn't bear it anymore and handed over the "Neighborhood Code" in the form of a legal document, asking her to stop affecting my life.
She blinked: "But, you had a fever last night, and I used folk remedies to reduce your fever."
I looked down and saw that ridiculous cartoon fever-reducing patch still on my forehead.
To make matters worse, I found myself looking forward to her next "accident."
