Agnes by Tony Cochran for January 22, 2023

so they learn drama at such a young age hmmm good to know!

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

That’s some good gum.

Agnes has raised hypochondria to new heights of drama.

And yeah… to seanfear especially… I have known babies (of both or all genders) who were already drama queens.

One little girl I was close to, at 18 months, starting to drink from a cup and eat solid food, was allowed one bottle a day, when she napped.

Afterward, she’d throw her empty nap-time bottle on the floor, hard, in front of her parents, to demand a refill, and when she didn’t get it, throw herself on the floor, sobbing, until she gave up cos no one paid attention.

At 7 years old, she still threw herself on the floor, sobbing “I’m so THIRSTY” instead of asking for a glass of water.

She’s in her late 40’s now, living far away, and has two grown children I’ve never met.

But I can’t help wondering about the drama quotient in that family.

Homocidal earlobes are becoming a concern

“‘Ear, ’ear, what’s all this, then?”

Thank goodness that gum on your earlobe isn’t fatal.

Smiled at the Merck Manual in the title panel, sighed at the misspelling.

The hypochondriacs dilemma.

the loopitus appears to have spread to agnes’s brain…

The Merck is in Spanish…

I know I’m getting old, I remember that song when it came out.

Trout, ever the voice of reason. :)
