FOUR YEARS AGO:
Cousin: I'm heading off to play in the alumni basketball game.
Me: Don't get hurt!
Outcome: Cousin tore achilles tendon, surgery, missed lots of work.
Me: Told you so.
THREE YEARS AGO:
Cousin: I'm heading off to play in the alumni basketball game.
Me: Again? Don't get hurt!
Outcome: Cousin tore other achilles tendon, surgery, missed lots of work.
Me: Told you so again.
TWO YEARS AGO:
Cousin: I'm gonna play again this year.
Me: Are you nuts?
Cousin: I don't have any achilles left to tear up.
Me: You're still nuts.
