My favorite was when people would start freaking out at work, and she'd start with, "This is not an emergency. An emergency is a resident who got on some random bus and doesn't know how to get home. An emergency is a resident up on the roof. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FUNDRAISING EMERGENCY."
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
She doesn't have any other symptoms, though. And she's running around, playing. Joe's taking her to the doctor at 5:15.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, she has a parent with her. That's the important thing. Well, that and her getting well.

It's 2006, honey. It'll be okay. Plus, now you smell better.

I'm thinking you've got the better part of the deal, Aimee. Just wait until she gets older -- when I was little, I always climbed right in bed next to my mom after I puked. I didn't tend to wake her up.

Ack! They're trying to assimilate me! I've just been invited to a Landmark Forum.
