Like, you know, we don't do that anymore.

But we used to do that with people just expressing how painful it was to live.

We did it in this country more than any other country, you know.

I just feel I understand it more like it's so obviously a way to cope and to survive.

anything that's going to make you feel anyway, just on an even keel or like you're not you're not traumatized or that bad things didn't happen, anything that's going to give you respite from that.

And for different people, you go towards different things.

And I don't know the science of that.

I mean, I have a very vivid memory and, you know, I have written about this.

I wrote about it in that in that piece that you discussed earlier of sitting in the Bors's chip shop in the back room and then saying that I could have anything I wanted in the chipper.

That was the day of my dad's funeral.

I have such a vivid... I actually told Edith Eager about that.

That was why I think she went to tell me to go to his grave.

And I remember eating the battered burger and chips.

I have a vivid memory of it.

And I also have a vivid memory of feeling better.

Like everyone was at the funeral.

Me and my little brother, we weren't there.

My sister was just a baby.

Everyone else was gone to this event to bury my dad at this place I've never, still never been to.
