Season 1- Episode 5

SHAKE YOUR GROVE THING

Meredith Voiceover - Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was, like, if you’d get a bike for your birthday, or if you get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult? Totally overrated. 

I mean, seriously, don’t be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you to do. Adulthood is responsibility. 

 Responsibility, it really does suck. 

 Really, really sucks. 

Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent. And if you’re training to be a surgeon, holding a human heart in your hands. Hello! Talk about responsibility. 

                                                                      

Kida makes bikes and cookies look really really good, doesn’t it? 

The scariest part about responsibility- when you screw up and let it slip right through your fingers. 

Izzie- Yeah. This is my life now, Hank. I work 100 hour weeks. I can’t always show up to my own parties on time. My patients have to come first. 

Hank- Yeah, I just flew across the entire country and there’s 100 people at your house. 

Izzie- Yeah, 100 people who understand what I do all day. I shouldn’t have to apologize for that. 

Hank- No, you shouldn’t. 

Izzie- Look, let’s just go by the party for a little while. You’ll really like everyone once you get a chance to know them. 

Hank- I should just go. 

Izzie- Hank, come on. 

Hank- I’ll call you.

Meredith's Voice Over - Unfortunately, once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn’t go away. 

 It can’t be avoided. 

 Either someone makes us face it, or we suffer the consequences. 


And still, adulthood has its perks. I mean the shoes, the sex, the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. That’s pretty damn good.
