On the plus side, that kid is now an elected official!
Plus side, in that you're proud to have provided an early chance for him to practice his rhetorical skills? Or more like you weren't the only one to get suckered?
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also do only guys have stuff like that? Do we just never name girls entirely after their mothers?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
