I'm not sure spoons is the one for me, but I'll take that under advisement.

[damnrightreo]

you could whittle a duck

[rehandle]

Wow, you're right. Who knew whittling could be so diverse a pastime?

[damnrightreo]

[ if you think she isn't going to whittle a crude duck now and leave it on his desk, you are incorrect ]

even old dogs can learn new tricks

[rehandle]

[ Old dogs ]

Ouch. Excuse me, I'm going to go and whittle out that sting.

[damnrightreo]

[ Oh. He's been around these parts long enough to know that the prompt for that remark is likely exactly as upsetting as he imagines it could be. ]

[damnrightreo]

[ jo knows she's making him feel old because she is, in fact, baby. she's a menace like that ]

[rehandle]

[ Thanks Jo this is fine

He says, having somehow unofficially fostered himself a gaggle of youths around her age. He brought it all on himself. ]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time you slip old into the conversation. Wouldn't want to offend your mom.

How old have you decided I am?

[ This'll be an interesting answer whatever she lands on because he. Won't actually accurately be able to tell her she's wrong. But how old is worthy of old man in the mind of Jo Harvelle, he simply must know. ]

[damnrightreo]

well you told me you're a neurosurgeon and I watched grey's anatomy twice so I can do some basic math

42? roundabout there

[rehandle]

Wow. Not bad

[damnrightreo]
