In Carlo Collodi's book, The Adventures of Pinocchio, the blue fairy repeatedly appears at critical moments to admonish the wooden puppet to avoid bad or risky behavior.
I'm certain, were I to have such a fairy, that I'd be routinely annoyed by her presence. But occasionally it would be nice to have her flutter around--"It's time for bed, Kristen." "Clean off your desk, Kristen." "You've misspelled that word, Kristen." The word in case was ship. I suggested to a very kind customer that I would "ship her beads tomorrow." Unfortunately, rather than a "p," the word ship contained a "t." Her funny return email suggested she'd be glad to wait if this took more time than expected.
I am routinely grateful for kind and funny customers. I have many. You know who you are, and I thank you.
