Did you doubt it?

A recent facebook chat with my good friend:

Kate

someone just did a dedication on the radio station...

"you are the glue that keeps this family together"

that's so over-used

10:31pmMelissa

yes, that is cliche

10:32pmKate

what about being the covalent bond that keeps the family together?

10:32pmMelissa

you are the intracellular pectin that keeps the family together

10:32pmKate

or the cofactor that keeps the family running

yeah!

10:32pmMelissa

you are the collagen that keeps this family tight

10:33pmKate

you are the laminin in my life

10:33pmMelissa

you are the insoluble fiber that keeps this family running

10:33pmKate

HAHAHAHA

you're like EDTA chelating the kids

10:35pmMelissa

you are the platelets that keep this family from hemorrhaging

10:35pmKate

you're the macrophages that keep this family healthy

10:36pmMelissa

you are the auxin that keeps this family moving towards the light

10:39pmKate

you're like phosphoglycerate mutase, you change this family

10:42pmMelissa

we are nerds

no doubt
