and so it goes
Jan. 17th, 2012 05:14 pmi've got an appt with an orthopedist in about 2 weeks, and a new hypothesis about the nature of my knee problem: pes anserine bursitis. i didn't get any heroin from the doctor. i was secretly hoping that by making jokes about getting heroin from her, i'd psychically magically get heroin from her.
i bet she doesn't even have any heroin.
on the playground, as i hobbled across it midday today, one kid on the swingset taunted another: "you have a penis, and you stink!" she went on to threaten, repeatedly, that she and unnamed others ("we") were going to cut off said penis. swinging penis-haver spoke not but just kept swinging, albeit with notable vigor.
i was mostly struck that a kid on the playground used "penis" in taunting. this would not have been the diction of any of my fellows back in my playground days.
