Coincidence? You Decide

The other day, Carla, my sushi-eating language arts teacher who busts my balls for using the word "funner" partner in criminal education, sent me her new favorite idiom:

Small Beer

We had fun with that all day long.

Then, that very night, I was reading "The Time Traveler's Wife", the part when Henry goes home with Clare for Christmas for the first time to meet her family and they're playing a game of pool and comparing the level of dysfunction in their respective families.

Henry says:

"The things you do to annoy your dad are small beer compared with the things my dad and I have done to each other."

Carla and I had fun with that the whole next day.
