Last night during the nightly ritual of trying to get Leif to stay in bed, he got disgruntled and started yelling "You Fired Daddy!" from his bed. It's not easy getting fired by a three year old.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

And maybe their idea of "good-looking" is different than yours.
In that vein, I can't figure out where I am on the attractiveness continuum. I mean sometimes I think I'm pretty, sometimes not. And my friends and family compliment me on looks-related things occasionally. But I really don't know how someone who has no other info about me would rate me. And if they believed I should date either somebody equally, more, or one notch less attractive, what is their idea of what that guy would look like?
It's a puzzle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lisah, you're a seven, but when you mind your posture you're a definite eight. Also, smiling more couldn't hurt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
[Edit: somebody please make me go and grade. But not in the form of a question like "when are you going to grade?" or "why aren't you grading yet?", because now the paragraph above is a well prepared answer for it]
Just give everyone a B+. If they complain, raise it to A-.

Nilly -- So, you're not grading yet? (This is the passive-agressive Irish-American form of the question.)

move out and draw fire
If you see a couple where one is way better looking than the other, you can be sure there's some other element balancing that out.
Yeah, usually the ugly one is rich as shit.
somebody please make me go and grade.
Don't look to me. Stay here and chat.
I kind of look forward to the day I'm old enough to be able to say really rude shit to people and get a pass. Of course, I still think the response to relatives who ask why you aren't married yet is "You think anyone would voluntarily join this family?!?"

What kind of passive-agressive is it if you say, "Fine. Don't grade. See if I care."?

HAH! Awesome. Minding my posture would also help with my stupid upper back pain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sheesh, Gud, did he at least give you decent severance?
