over my head
Dan says, "I'm going out to get some milk."
"What? It's a storm out there! Be careful!"
"I'll drive safely"
"Everything's flooded!"
"I'll be fine."
"Don't drive through any rivers!"
"I'll avoid rivers at all costs."
"But don't go so crazy avoiding a river that you drive into a tree."
"I will steer my car between the Scylla and Charybdis of trees and rivers."
"What on earth are you talking about?"
"What on earth are YOU talking about?"
Dan doesn't understand my anxiety, neither I his Odyssean references.

You may have tightened up our conversational repartee a little, but that's the best title ever!!
And I adore both his Odyssean reference AND your anxiety! Mwahahah!
