can it be?

Today Iris über Alles turned thirteen.  She's seemed like a teenager for a long time, years actually, so it seems odd that it took this long for her to reach the teens officially.

She's more than independent enough.  Right now she's researching far away boarding schools.  "Won't you miss me?" I say, pathetically enough, and she says, with great kindness, "Of course I will, but my education is important!"

Iris is not 13. She is 43. She has always been 43.

What Anonymous said. Srsly tho, a belated Happy Birthday to Iris uber Alles, whom I have no doubt in my mind will one day be ruling over all of us puny humans. Lola, I am certain, will be her Enforcer.
