Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now I have to go fix my shirt, since I put it on inside out this morning.

Of course, it wasn't me that noticed this.

There are no spoons in the kitchen. I have to eat my yogurt with a fork. That's a metaphor for something.

Or perhaps a zen koan...Is it about the yogurt in your mouth, or is it the yogurt in the space between the tines, Grasshopper...

Of course, I'm wearing a black knit top (with a dark blue skirt, if you must know), so I had to hope that disintegrating paper towel marks are the lesser evil when compared to deodorant marks.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a sponge thingy that is designed to get rid of deoderant marks on fabric but actually gets rid of all kinds of marks and schmutz. It's like MAGIC, I swear.

ah! Here it is:

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just got back from gym shoe shopping--Famous Footwear is having a sale, so the two pairs I bought were already marked down to $50 each, and then it was buy 1, get the 2nd half-off, so I got a pair of Reeboks and a pair of Nikes for $81 after tax. Combine those with the bookstore shoes and suede flats for my sister's wedding I got in the mail this morning, I've bought four pair of shoes this week! In the whole of 2006, I bought two pair, and none since then. I still have to get some boots for winter, but I'll be set after that.

I was holding a baby. Now I smell like baby. Not really in a good way.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Straight-up pantyhose or other nylons will wipe off deodorant marks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
