If you arrived at work in the morning to find your computer monitor scribbled all over with crayon would you:

A.) Call HR and tell them Alev Biuky has gone insane and is roaming the hallways of random ad agencies at night?

B.) Call IT and tell them Photoshop had an orgasm last night and left the remains all over the screen?

C.) Call maintenance and tell them some kind of technicolor worm crawled all over your monitor?

D.) Bring your kid to work cuz, ya know, the crayon’s not really on your computer, it’s on an acetate created to promote Bring Your Kids to Work Day. At BBDO New York?

I’m 73 and my husband leaves every surface destroyed when he cooks and then cleans it all afterward in one heroic effort — and I clean as I go and present a meal from a kitchen that looks like nobody used it — and we’ve been having the same argument about this for 44 years without realizing that it’s not about dishes, it’s about two fundamentally different philosophies of how to move through chaos, and the kitchen is just the room where the philosophies collide three times a day

Psychologists explain that people who have to jiggle the door handle after locking it aren’t paranoid — they’re compensating for the fact that procedural memory doesn’t create the same confidence as episodic memory, which is why we trust what we just witnessed more than what we just did

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language
