you're a seven, but when you mind your posture you're a definite eight. Also, smiling more couldn't hurt.
HAH! Awesome. Minding my posture would also help with my stupid upper back pain.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

The evil is this way?
What kind of passive-agressive is it if you say, "Fine. Don't grade. See if I care."
The kind one of my sisters is the master of.

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?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My folks have stopped asking me when I'm getting married. My various aunts and uncles never started. Since they're not really huge on boundries about other topics, I sometimes wonder if they know something I don't. But on the whole I'm happy with the situation as it stands.

My parents never asked, and then I did. Any of y'all who are being nagged are welcome to quote the example at your parents, aunts, or random strangers who like to get in your business.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My parents ask about my love life because a) they want grandkids and b) they don't think I can be trusted to look after myself.
I can't disagree with either of those points, but I hope they understand a boyfriend/husband won't guarantee a fix to either issue.
Everyone else has NO business with it at all -- they're just digging for goss.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
he got disgruntled and started yelling "You Fired Daddy!" from his bed. It's not easy getting fired by a three year old.
I've done this. Back in Library school, we had an library picnic at the head of the program and law library's house, and people brought their kids. One of the 3 or 4 year olds took a great liking to me, and we starting teasing each other. Eventually he "fired" me, and liked the reaction he got enough that he kept doing it.
Unfortunately, the boss and I had a very similar haircut at that point and after the dinner break the little boy ran up behind her and yelled "you're fired".
The family left soon after that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Buffista sprog are being extra adorable today.
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.
You've got the looks
I've got the brains
