Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Worried that a worrier is worrying I am a third generation worrier, my Grandmother is a worrier, my Dad is a worrier, I am a worrier; I worry that if I have kids they will be a worrier.
Case in point:
Last night Jeff and I were walking Lucy through our neighborhood when I told him that my Mom had mentioned my Dad was worried about me. Specifically my Dad was worried that I was worrying too much about a recent medical test I've taken. I was telling Jeff about how I was worried about my Dad being worried for me.
Jeff said, "Let me get this right, you're worried about your Dad worrying about you?" I was already earnestly nodding my head when I realized the silliness of my comment.
Jeff went on, "maybe you should call your Grandma and tell her that you're worried about your Dad worrying about you worrying and then you'll have the entire triumvirate involved." I started giggling about how illogical the worry is and how I know both my Dad and Grandma would be doing the same worrying in my spot.
Thank goodness I've found a sensible man who can remind me when I'm being silly.
Is anyone else a worrywart?
My wife is a worrier and she gets upset that I never worry about anything ever.
