Please tell me I wasn't like this as a child.
Louise, doing homework: "What was the nash...un..ail..atty of the groom?"
Me: Nationality.
Louise: Okay...
Me: Do you know what it means?
Louise: Where he's from.
Me: Right. Where does it say he's from?
Louise: Sydney... do I write Sydney or Sydnian?
Me: [makes pained face] Do you know where Sydney is?
Louise: Australia.
Me: [significant look]
[pause]
Louise: OH.
30 seconds later:
Louise: What's hummid?
Me: "Humid". Means the weather is warm and kind of damp.
Louise: Okay, but is it hot?
Me: [pointed silence]
[Louise goes into the other room where Gerard is, I hear the next part of the conversation from a distance]
Louise: What's hummid?
Gerard: "HUMID".
later:
Louise: How do you say this word? "Stiffling"?
Gerard: ...Yes. Yes, that's exactly it.
Louise: Sarah, what's "stiffling"?
Me: ... :S ... "stifling"?
Louise: HA. Gerard, it wasn't right. "STEFFLING".
Me: [quiet sobbing]

Nice to see that Louise listens...
Yeah, probably everyone was like that.
Although I think I was more of an introverted, arrogant arsehole. Oh well...
Richard, I thought you were just autistic. Did you get your head stomped on a lot as a child? Besides, not a lot has changed, only I suppose you're less introverted now... ;) Bwa hahahahaha.
Anyway, "stiffling" is something completely different from "stifling", you of all people should know that, Bailraida. :D
Do you go stiffling often, Miss Jones?
