How small is the world, really? Is it actually that strange that my
grandmother’s cousin’s wife’s brother works with my husband?
Or that my officemate’s childhood schoolmate (from Mississippi) works
for our company here in Massachusetts?
I can’t really wrap my mind around the odds, but I guess they’re
really not as long as I always think they are—I mean, my grandmother
has like 30 cousins, and my officemate probably had 100 schoolmates,
and each of those is only one path through which we could have
connections. So why does it seem so unlikely?
