Had a kid sitting behind me on a flight coming home from far away. Kicked the entirety of the flight. After a few pointed looks to its parent - this is Canada, and he should have gotten the fn hint - I was gonna ask whether he wants me to teach the child some of the words I learned working on the water or as infantry. Like, maybe he keeps the kid in line or we're all gonna learn some words he'll remember for school. He seemed to finally fn get it, and I was the most relieved.
