So that was when I cried.
That was really the first time I cried was when that plane took off.
I had a few couple of little tears.
Then I got over myself and had something to eat.
And then I was just exhausted too because I hadn't slept very much.

They won't want to know about it.
It's absolutely delightful.
Yeah, I didn't wear shoes.
I've got very wide feet, by the way, because I've got island girl feet, because I didn't wear shoes till I was 11 or something.
