When I was ten years old, I took a little notebook I found and turned it into a book of lists. I can picture the notebook. It was floral, kitschy 90s, small and narrow, like an address book. I titled the book “Chanee’s Helpful Handy Hints.” In it, I wrote myself detailed instructions about what to do in the event of things like fire, and the water system not turning off. I wanted to be prepared in any emergency, big or small.
