My dad got beat up by a 6 year old.
Of course, the next year, he beat her up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I saw a pair of med students in the elevator today who just made me sad -- no, really. Two young women with stethoscopes and resident IDs at the ready, weighed down with patient records and dosage crib notes and scribbled rounds notes bristling out of every pocket, and both of them shorter than Hil and slender and wispy looking, with the kind of ageless faces that when coupled with short and slender totally read as "twelve, thirteen and a half tops." Looking at them, you could just tell that they were trying extra hard to dress like grown-ups and look fierce and old and that the next person to crack a Doogie Howser joke was going to get an unpleasant surprise.
The timing of this whole conversation is weirdly charming, given the thread title.

JZ, that was my first trip to the doctor here. I was in my early 20s. She looked younger than I.

Now tagless for your comfort.
JZ just described the medical student that sat in on Owen's birth. She was so wee and cute I couldn't refuse when she asked to watch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On WAT, I didn't think that was right. Here is a link spoilery for a plot point.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Medical inaccuracies or not, WAT made me cry. A little bit of Joni Mitchell, and I'm a goner.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Car buried under 12" of snow + reynauds = PAIN
