[11:44] AA: Well, actuallY...

[11:44] AA: But no! No concussion!

[11:45] BC: He !s probably play!ng a very elaborate prank on you

[11:45] BC: Some sort of mental revenge for waffles or pancakes or someth!ng.

[12:37] AA: It's...a weird situation

[12:38] BC: !!t w!ll be t!me. H!s health and safety are more !mportant than my cl!n!cal know!ngs.

[12:38] BC: Leaps and bounds unquest!onably more mportant

[12:39] AA: YeaH, of course. its not like it makes Him reallY anY different.
