Time for a check-up?

I was happily sorting out handouts at 1++ in the morning when I received an sms.

Was so tempted to reply, "Up."

Kidding.

A friend in distress is still a friend in distress. I didn't mind listening.

But what happens when Aunt Agony is in agony?

"A friend in need's a friend indeed. A friend who'll tease is better. Our thoughts compressed which makes us blessed, and makes for stormy weather.."
