Shades After 051
My house mate works at the hospital as a care assistant and she loves watching medical shows which I always stumble upon just as the scalpel is going in. I like to think Anwar is a bit more used to it and not as squeamish as I am! XD
When I read the first part I almost spat. Then I realized she thinks he’s kidding.
I cannot STAND medical shows for that reason. Anything with blood or internal organs and I’m out. Very few other things make me squeamish though.
My grandfather is the same way. Every time something surgically gorey is on the TV, he lowers his head, covers his eyes and waits for it to pass.
What is “going dutch” ?
Paying for yourself.
Or splitting it down the middle
going dutch is a phrase that means partial payment. It was originally an insult about Dutch being cheapskates. Now it just means to splitting some thing. I.e. wanna go dutch with this brownie? Or going dutch on a date means paying for (your) part.
Haha, that’s how I am with my parents. “Who were you talking to?”
“Oh, just my dealer. I’m gunna go pick up some crack from him later.” Only, I’m totally joking, of course lol
Me too, I’m always like, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine tonight, the rock band and keg stand won’t be here until 7.”
Omg, I wish I was less squeamish. I started thinking about medical stuff after your comment and freaking out.
Not as bad as the other day when I searched online to read more about my IUD and they just posted “interior shots” FRONT PAGE SEARCH RESULTS ARJLSRJD
I freaking love their relationship.
Though I’m a little sad that, in telling the truth, he said it in such a way that pretty much guarantees she thinks he’s lying, and throwing what she said previously back in her face. Or, at least, thats how it sounds in my head.
Things like this always make me wonder – are humans the only animals who lie/mislead by telling the truth? As in, ‘War told the truth, but in a way that made Mama ‘War assume he was lying. Are we unique in that?
*Monday morning post-insomnia thoughts*
Telling the truth is always the best thing, and if the truth isn’t something you want them to hear, make your tone as sarcastic as possible :3
Ah, the truth no one will believe is better than the best lie, and if it ever does come up he can play innocent “But ma I *told* how we met!”
Interesting look in panel three, I like how the sheen on Mom’s glasses hide her eyes from us so we can’t tell what she thinks of the news Chris doesn’t buy him things. I suspect equal parts of “oh good he;s not trying to buy you” and “what do you mean he never gets you anything?”
I used to watch medical shows as a kid. The gorier, the more I loved it. My mom figured I’d either end up as a doctor, or a psychopath. When I was 6, she bought me a book with pop-up pictures of the brain, lungs, kidneys, etc. I was fascinated as hell at pulling the little paper tab to make the pop-up heart beat and contract, or scaring people by suddenly opening the book to a huge pop-up face, half just facial muscles, the other half all bones, with the brain visible if you peeped in through the top opening or through the empty eye socket. Creeped my sisters out. Ah, good times! (BTW, I’m not a doctor, and it depends on your definition of “psychopath” haha!
I guess you’re not a fan of “American Horror Story” then? (Guess who just got done marathoning Asylum)
I love that he’s being honest!
Yeah, if you grow up in an environment with medical and/or medically-minded people in your family, you tend to not be squeamish. I’m still more-so than the rest of my family, but nothing phases my mom, my brother is a medical assistant and my sis an acupuncturist, so things like discussing diseases and infections at the dinner table is a norm.
I like the irony that his mom would be shocked at the idea of a fetish party, yet her entertainment is watching humans being cut into for medical reasons. We all have a weird hobby of some kind…
Well, she *is* a doctor… :D
Alternative scene:
Mamwar: “Oh, that’s nice dear. Did I ever tell you how I first met your dad while working as a dominatrix?”
Anwar: O.o
=p
Can you imagine movie night with Momwar
It’s a good thing his mom expected sass nc my parents take everything literally. In highschool when i would spend the nightat my friend’s and my mom would pick me up and she would be like “How’d it go what did you do?” and I’d be like “oh yknow getting wild and crazy drunk and staying up all hours of the night” and she would freak out taking it literally when in reality while my friends were getting drunk I was just sitting somewhere playing on my computer all night
