Last night, I noticed Grace's brace was at a weird angle in her shoe. Didn't think much about it. This morning, I realized it was broken. [link] How do you break a carbon fiber brace when you barely weight 30 lbs? Also, thank GOD we had her cast for a new brace last Tuesday. I'd be thrilled if it arrived before we left for Seattle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Quick quiz:
1. You're hungry for dessert, and someone offers you a slice of chocolate cake. Does this mean:
A) A slice of some sort of chocolate, fudge, devils's food or black forest-y type cake, with chocolate frosting,
B) A slice of one of the aforementioned cakes, with any kind of frosting whatsoever because the descriptor "chocolate" modifies the cake, or
C) A slice of any kind of cake whatsoever with chocolate frosting, because the frosting itself acts as a modifier that designates any cake upon which it's frosted as chocolate?
2. Your answer to (1) was:
A) The only sane and sensible response, and people who answered otherwise are crazy and also poopyheads,
B) Your own personal understanding of "chocolate cake," though you admit that opinions may vary and you don't want to get all prescriptivist about it, or
C) FUCK YOU JZ NOW I WANT CHOCOLATE CAKE AND I HAVE NONE, YOU FUCKO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Definitely B. Chocolate cake doesn't need icing, and you can't make it not a chocolate cake by putting a strawberry glaze on it.
I'm watching Magic Mike out of the corner of my eye and FUCK. FUCK Matt Bomer, Jesus. He is too much.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
C) A slice of any kind of cake whatsoever with chocolate frosting, because the frosting itself acts as a modifier that designates any cake upon which it's frosted as chocolate?
Obviously this is straight up bullshit. Though still more chocolate than I currently have.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My first thought would be B, but I would not be put out by discovering that it was instead C.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The answer is B, clearly.
