Somewhere, way back in time, before Meredith Grey married Derek Shephard, she dated a veterinarian. A very handsome Dr. Finn Dandridge played by none other than the very handsome Chris O’Donnell. It was short lived, most likely because Mere’s BF Christina Yang didn’t approve, but the relationship gave birth to one of my favorite lines. Ever.
“He’s not a real doctor…”
For years, I have taunted the Happy Hippy with variations of this line. From the original, to why didn’t you become a real doctor, or too bad you’re not a real doctor. We’ll just ignore the fact that Dr. Happy Hippy supports my broke behind! But hey, who’s counting?
Well, apparently the Diva Princess, that’s who?
Knowing that my darling little princess has been learning about the different parts of a book, I asked her if she knew any authors. To which she said no! NO!?! I’m sure my chin hit the floor! What do you mean you don’t know any authors? I’m a dang author! I wanted to pout, but instead of climbing up on my high horse, I simply replied, “are you sure about that, Honey?” “Well,” she says, “I guess you, but you’re not like a real author. You just do the writing part.” Sword to the heart! Apparently, I don’t have enough pictures for her taste…not that she would be allowed to see any of those pictures if they were in my books.
Like mother, like daughter, I guess I earned this one! I also conceded and told the Happy Hippy I would consider him a real doctor now!
