Squeaky Wheels Get Clobbered

Remember Chicken Little--the one who erroneously believed the sky was falling?  In re, Fiorella was asked "What if it really were falling?"

Fio's answer was that the state of the sky would be irrelevant because the chicken had already doomed itself by attracting the wolf's attention.  Which brings up Fiorella's mother, who taught a mixed message of "Keep your head down" and "Stand out from the crowd." It's all according to the situation, of course, which can be very hard to judge.

Not that any of it matters because if the sky were falling, we'd all be moot.
