having a husband who is a forensic science student who does nothing but study skeletons all day is ridiculous because we were in the middle of doing...adult....stuff....and he suddenly just grabbed my head and said "oh my god, you know you've got a healed skull fracture here?!" like WHAT do you MEAN I have a HEALED SKULL FRACTURE???
he told me my skull healed really weirdly and I probably have brain damage from it because there's a fuckin crater in the back of my skull that I just thought was a normal thing everyone has. I should probably see a doctor
update on this: he keeps like grabbing random body parts and trying (and failing) to subtly look at me and im like STOP EXAMINING ME because he's so fascinated by my fucked up skeletal structure. the other day we had Christmas drinks with my coworkers and he told me afterwards that someone in the group had a weird shaped skull and something about processes and i was like god can't you just be normal and stop examining people
I told the person I'm dating that one reason I like old movies is because most actors don't have Hollywood-perfect smiles and I like to look at all the different shapes of their crooked teeth and misaligned bites and the way their silver and gold molar fillings flash when they talk.
They just looked at me and said "That's such an anthropologist thing to like," and honestly? No rebuttal possible.
(After this conversation I drunkenly showed them my favorite pages of my paleopathology textbook. Bless them for not immediately running as I caressed an image of a snapped femur that healed at a 90 degree angle.)
Me, an MT, glancing at someone's raised up/pushed inward shoulders: You sleep on your side, don't you? [Them: ...yes]
Me, an MT, barely able to knead someone's glutes bc they're fuckening brick walls who would punch my fists back if they could: You've been aggravated for a really long time, huh? [Them: ...yes]
Me, an MT, overhears someone claim their head hurts: *immediately starts massaging their neck, bc most people with headaches have neck problems* [Them, three minutes later: omg my headache's gone]
