I've already mentioned my dad's obession with such things as napkins.
He's got a new one.
"It's gonna get cold."
When he has a cup of tea, he has to keep it covered with a saucer. He removes the saucer, drinks quickly, and re-covers it. He tries to cover all the food on the table. "It's gonna get cold."
He offers saucers to other people drinking tea: "so it doesn't get cold"
Everything has to be covered, wrapped, protected.
Safe.
Controlled.
Same old, same old. Same obession, different name.
