secretions

The following are the words that came out of Dad's mouth in one two-minute span:

Don't stand next to the microwave, you'll die. You'll get cancer. Don't eat rice. Eat more vegetables than rice. Rice is death by fatness. Why is there so much dish soap left in the sponge? Did you wash your tupperware? Did you leave soap in your tupperware? If you left soap in it, you'll get sick. I'm going to rewash this. It's all soap. Don't touch your dog while you're eating. You see? You're using your right hand, which is the hand you're using for your chopsticks. Don't eat chocolate. Chocolate cancels out running. All that running you did will be no good if you eat chocolate. Don't touch his eyes!! There are secretions!!

After this, he found his way to the piano and spent thirty minutes playing the right-hand part of Sunflower Slow Drag very slowly and very badly.
