Like I'm, I'm so dumb.

Like I, I can't do it.

And so that's when people started, like, do you remember there was a test of like, what are you going to be when you grow up?

Remember that thing?

It's like, those were nightmares.

They all came out like, um,

Was your dad, who we talked about earlier, having gone the normal trajectory of lounge singer to doctor, the normal path everyone takes, did you feel like your parents were disappointed in you?
