tell me what to swallow

Shane Connaughton - We’ll speak in the morning.

This is beautiful. And on the topic of sleepovers and kids getting stuck in uncomfortable situations: My mom and I had a code, ever since my first sleepover. I would always call home to say goodnight, and if I asked “How is the cat doing?”, it meant that I wasn’t comfortable and I wanted her to pick me up. I did use this code a few times, and whenever I did, my mom came up with the excuses for me. I was never stuck at a sleepover I didn’t want to be at - and as a child with anxiety and social phobia, this was a great system.

My mom always told me if I was ever in a situation where I needed her to pick me up, I could call and work “oh yeah, pizza sounds fine” into the conversation.
