My friend, Doug, said I’ve been showered with so much good karma lately, I should play the lottery, get out and circulate, put my hands on a crippled child.
I said, “Yea, that would be the moment that all my good fortune turned on me. Someone would accuse me of being a pedophile. Think of the publicity that would get, ‘46-year old Upper Wonderful housewife arrested for touching a handicapped child.’ That has Nancy Grace written all over it.
TV reporters in Wichita, Kansas, and Savannah, Georgia and East Timbuktu, will tell their microphones: ‘You never suspect a woman, especially a suburban mom. Not to mention a suburban mother of two in Upper Wonderful in the heartland of America.”
Think Lake Wobegone: Where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.

Then they’ll interview the neighbors who get the Interview The Neighbors Script. It’s the same for each type of news story – murder, suicide, robbery, molestation. It goes like this. I’m sure you’ll recognize it: “She seemed like the nicest person. I just can’t believe it. I didn’t see this coming.”
They’re more in shock of how they didn’t see it coming than the crime itself.
“No thanks. I’ll keep my hands to myself!” I told Doug. “I’ll stick with distance healing.”
