Ah, childhood. The good old days.
Where you had no responsibilites or the crushing realisation that you'll probably never be a home-owner.

Mainly because you didn't want to tell the Priest that it had been three years since you last went.
The one line that would always stop a tantrum in its tracks.

And look at you now, you little f*cker. The mouth on ya.
You knew it wasn't real. It couldn't be, yet...
