ita ! do you find the orange is sweeter, or less acidic than the grapefruit?
I've never tried the grapefruit--it's not a flavour I enjoy, sorry.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

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

Trust my rage
Can you break a bone in your foot and not know it? Because I kind of think I might have. It really hurts and hasn't gotten better all day. I'm too busy to go to the dr. tomorrow and I'm not going up urgent care this weekend so I'm going it jut gets better.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Stephanie, my anecdata is a 70-year-old, so hopefully your bones are a bit sturdier - but, yes, several months ago my mother broke a bone in her foot, no idea how. If you absolutely can't go to the Dr before Monday, then stay off it as much as you can, elevate, the usual stuff. And actually, all they gave my mother was a boot, so unless it's a horrible break probably all you'd be likely to get (in addition to official diagnosis) is a boot and maybe some good drugs. Anyway, take care of yourself.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Not know it right away or not know how you injured it? Cuz yes to the first. First time I broke my foot was in the afternoon. It kinda hurt but not too much. Went home, had dinner, went to bed. Woke up next morning and couldn't put weight on it. There's a lot of little bones in there, but usually there needs to be some kind of traumatic force/injury to break any of them.
Plantar fascitis, OTOH, can totally sneak up on you, and hurts like a bugger.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm still finding bromeliad thorns in my forearms.
We had donated three rather large plants from our board president (at the time) whose mother had passed away, and she gifted us with her greenhouse plants. Suddenly we got stuck with three horrid huge ugly bromes. We decided that we'd keep them a year, plant them out in the gardens, then feel our duty was over and toss them.
So they're out of the greenhouse now, but sitting on the patio, and I wrestled with them in short sleeves. Still have to get them into the truck tomorrow to take to the dump.
It reminds me of the time that I was doing rose pruning, before I discoverd gauntlet gloves, and then took my cats to the vet for their shots, and the vet thought they were abusing me because of all the scratches, and offered to remove their claws.
!!!
I immediately stopped going to that vet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The proper response to this is "YOUNG LADY YOU PUT SOME CLOTHES ON RIGHT NOW!", right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was going with "zip your damn pants up"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Feeling a lack of parental concern for the welfare of Ms Cyrus, I myself am happy to settle for the time-honoured "MY EYES! MY EYES!" route.

My second thought was "I do not need to know what kind of a job your waxer does."
