Just in case...

Over Thanksgiving, Greg's dad pulled him aside to tell him where all their important documents are: wills, account information, medical information, etc. Just in case. Kind of a sobering conversation, really, but his dad felt strongly that he should know where all that mysterious stuff was, just in case. Fast forward a few months to this conversation:
Me: Greg?
G: Yeah?
M: I feel like I need to tell you something.
G: ...okay....
M: Well, I know this is hard to talk about, but you know how your dad had that talk with you over Thanksgiving?
G: Uh-huh...(quizzical look, like 'where are you going with this?')
M: I really think I should show you where the bathroom cleaning supplies are. You know, just in case anything ever happens to me.

I think he really appreciated the information, don't you?
