Let me also add, it’s especially awkward to be visiting family and have an energetic, talkative seven-year-old suddenly go silent with that “oh no I’m shitting myself” look on their face.
You know, I was going to talk shit about you, but I was too busy dealing with explosive diarrhoea at 2am while we were navigating through 8m seas. So yeah… there may be some truth to what you’re saying.
