I was wearing knickers in like '80 or '81, I think. I don't think I would have been caught dead in them by '85.

JZ's comment reminds me that yesterday I was on the bus, and a Looniversity student was saying to another, "I mean, I want to go to law school, and also, if you don't get married by age 28, that's it - your expiration date has come!"
And I thought of newlywed Robin, and Laura, and JZ, and assorted other older-than-28-year-olds I know, and refrained from smacking the girl upside the head, because these gracious mature ladies would never do such a thing.

Hee, Suzi. I thought of that, and then decided to leave it.

Nor would they, I'm sure, have had to bite their lips in order to refrain from yelling, "That's only true of the vapid!"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey, THAT's why my marriage didn't work! I got married at 29, so I was way past my sell-by date! smacks self upside head

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm past 28, and I know I'll never be married. She's totally right.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
No, love. Your marriage didn't work because no one froze Z before his sell-by date and he went bad.

And when I can't babysit for Ailleann, I give her mother your number. (P.S. Sometimes, she bites.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This gracious and mature lady would never smack someone upside the head. Rapping the idiot's knuckles with the sandalwood fan your sister gave me as a wedding present, or soundly boxing the idiot's ears, is so much more refined and elegant.

And yet I still know all the lyrics to Mr. Mister songs.
Somebody has to.
Eh. Not so much.
