"I always kind of prefered Dr. Mario," she said, thinking about her own Nintendo years. "The colourful capsules and the germs you were trying to eradicate. And I guess wanting to be a doctor, it appealed to me on that level too."
She's still folding burp cloths as she thinks back on the hours she spent in the den on their little telly trying to line up coloured pills on a screen, racing her friend Tim in two-player mode.
"I was an outdoor girl until I got to an age where my mum decided it wasn't lady-like to be out playing in mud with the boys," she said with a shrug. "She was always a bit old-fashioned that way. But my dad used to take me fishing and showed me how to prepare the fish we caught. Those were the first bodies I ever sliced and diced."
If he were her other friends, she would realize how flip she sounds and apologize about joking about dead bodies, but she knows it won't bother Sherlock for her to talk about them that way.
"I was the museum girl too, though. When I got older. Didn't make me very popular, as you can imagine."
