Go Gracie!

Noah does look more like me than Grace does. Poor boy has my hairline.

It's more in the smile and the expression, in that picture, for me. Which are both lovely, and very much you.

The son of a friend of mine has his father's face, in every feature and factor I can think about. It's like they took his father and made him a kid again. But he also has her expressions and is more similar to her in his character - and it makes him look so much like her, with his father's face, that it's so very confusing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yay sitting Gracie!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've had a number of those. The Irish Car Bomb was nummy. Also, fun!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Jessica, I'm not sure why a regular martini qualifies as "manly." But I associate it with post-WWII, pre-1970s energy crisis white collar men who either had nice suburban homes with nice suburban families, or who tried to live the Playboy Fantasy until they obtained a nice suburban etc. In other words, men who would be pretty metrosexual by today's standards.

And if you want a James Bond tie-in to give a cocktail manliness cred, that martini should have vodka and not gin.

Do you mean she sits herself up and holds it, or holds it if you sit her up?

Meaning she pulls herself to seated? No. We get her sitting and she can hold that position. Then she face plants. Which might be the reason she's mad.

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

Which might be the reason she's mad.

I gotta say--I'm on Gracie's side on this one. In the short term, you're big meanies. Poor thing's too wee for the long game.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Vodka martinis are not martinis.

I mostly agree with this commenter

Christ on a crutch! How about just plain whiskey neat or on the rocks?

and I say this as someone who has almost always been an old man type drinker.

Also, we mixed moonshine with lime Kool-aid or whatever the Big Star equivilant is.
