On eating disorders
Me: Oh my God, I am so full. I don't think I can finish this cake.
Cousin Desiree: I know.
Me: I want to make myself throw up so I can eat more.
Cousin Desiree: What are you, bulimic?
Me: No, that's not bulimia.
Cousin Desiree: Binge? Purge?
Me: Yeah, but if I binge-purge-binge and there's no final purge, it's not bulimia. It's just making room.
Cousin Desiree: Huh. I guess you're right.
