“Don’t you just hate that? You get used to using the same shampoo all the time then the company discontinues it?”
“Yeah - I know what you mean. You have to try something new…
Who wants to do that?”
FLOUR… You might say it used to freak me out.
I had just finished reading Conquer Your Fears Past the Twilight Zone, when I realized that I had soared past it! My flour phobia.
I was no longer afraid of getting every speck of this refined white milled powder into the bowl. I was excited to share this revelation with my children, when I stumbled across them re-enacting my old flour tapping ways. They did not know I was eavesdropping outside the door.
“If there are any holes in the flour the cake won’t bake properly so you need to tap-tap-tap on top of the measuring cup…..”
“Don’t tap too hard. If you push down you will compact it. Just tap-tap-tap…..”
“…or there will be an indentation in the flour - tap-tap-tap…..”
“Oops! You tapped too hard. Now we have to start again…..”
Thankful for this twilighty book that made me a flour tapper no more, I rounded the corner still floating. I told my precious offspring how I couldn’t believe I used to sound like that. Then, as quick as a pin, I dropped back to earth. They busted my bubble with a great big, ”Used to sound???”
