Now I’m just the opposite, with kids I think of the worst and prepare. (My old tagline was Ever Vigilant, Never Fearful). Now if I were single, then I could laugh at it. Although I have noticed where the price of beer is going up as well. ;)
I’m thinking people with kids want the best future for their heirs, they don’t want to think about what could happen. Preparing for the worst, admits the worst could happpen.
I’m single, but don’t laugh about it, I don’t worry about it either, I prepare, yes, but that is different than worry.
My husband, yes, he noted that hops were in trouble, suggested that I buy extra beer this week-end.
