admitting that i've given a tv show this much thought takes every last shred of dignity i've ever had, in fact, i'm in the hold dignity wise, but i realized something a little while ago:

• meredith grey's father supposedly left when she was 5.
• she's 2 years ahead of her half-sister lexy in her internship.
• meredith took 0 detours from start to finish of medical school.
• so she's 2 years older than her half-sister lexy.

doesn't work, unless thatcher left mean mommy, then went back in time, got married, and had another baby, and i don't think that's a level of drama we've come to yet.

september 25! it's just around the corner!
