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

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.

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.)

I'm cranky because I was attacked by time-traveling photons.

Can I have a cookie?

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

refrained from smacking the girl upside the head, because these gracious mature ladies would never do such a thing.

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.

BWAH!

And yet I still know all the lyrics to Mr. Mister songs.

Somebody has to.

Eh. Not so much.

Wrod - more along the lines of "better you than me."
