My mother is begging us to let her throw our teenager stuff out. So far I won't let her, but I doubt she'll pay attention to my wishes for long.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jilli,
I totally think you should have that conversation with your father. I think it will go much better than you imagine it will. He knows his daughter. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't asked you!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, that was kinda ridiculously painless. I called the bank and they told me what I needed to know...that's not the kind of customer service I've been carefully groomed to expect!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh my gosh, we found a box full of our baby teeth after my parents died! Undifferentiated, of course. We threw it out immediately as gross, but then lo and behold, our own kids started losing teeth and my sister said she suddenly understood why my parents couldn't throw them out. We have Franny's and Isaac's stashed away too, in case they want to make a necklace or something out of them. But at least they are in separate baggies.
Okay, and as for grapples? Who is the kid who doesn't eat apples because they aren't sweet enough? Not my kid, that's for sure.

Huh. They're about to vacuum out a storm drain by my house. I hope it doesn't stink too badly, I'm drinking on my porch.

I took it by accident, if that helps?
Well. How... by accident? Like, how does that work? Then we'll see if it helps.
A baby tooth necklace would be awesome! Pretty sure ours went the way of the garbage.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We had a farewell lunch for one of the post-docs at an Indian restaurant. It was a buffet, and I managed to not eat too much.(Though maybe I shouldn't have had the second bowl of rice pudding. Oh, well.)

Well, this is damned depressing. You know how all those career-advice columns say women should just get over their (culturally-imposed) modesty and ask for the raise and the promotion? The gender gap in careers and salaries would go away if we all just expressed our ambition in the same way that men do!
Apparently that advice is wrong: women who do ask, still lag behind men. Isn't that just awesome?
