#fencer

They are SHORT! In real life, inexperienced fencers tire after 2 mins and that’s WITH resets (aka after someone has been hit, we return to our corners before the next exchange begins as deemed by judges saying ‘Readyyyyy, Fence!’

My best friend who’s much better than me lasts 8 minutes including resets, but there’s are friendly fights where no one is actually hurt.

A real fight? You wouldn’t announce that you’ve gotten hit in the hand and then return to your corners. You’d be hit and start bleeding and not be able to fight anymore beyond a quick after blow (after blow is when you get hit and you hit your opponent with the last second before you’d be declared the loser of that exchange).

My cat got neutered yesterday! If you're bad, your cat could get neutered too. (I don't have a cat. The 7 year old then went on in detail about why his cart was neutered.)

I had a twelve year old tell me in great detail about his pet turtle

There was a girl that would consistently make turkey sounds and start spouting turkey facts anytime someone said something turkey related

Same 7 year old from earlier wears a purple cta collar and goes around making backroom monster sounds at people anytime they make him mad

An 11 year old that starts to cry any time someone inconveniences him

A 14 year old that has no sense of balance and would literally fall over with any sudden motion.

Another 14 year old with raging anger issues
