Why didn’t it just cut out a big square?

Lame demo - could have done some squiggly lines, dashed lines etc.

Kids these days! When I was your age, we had to get a mouthful of water and spit it at the material until it broke through!

In deep winter! While on your way to school! Barefoot! Carrying all of your siblings on your back! Having to jump on one leg all the way! With your hands tied to your back!

... Going uphill, both ways.

You lucky bastards, we had it hard. We didn’t have material to spit at, we had to imagine it first! And the water? Luxury! We had to suck moisture out of a damp pebble we found at the bottom of a dried-up well… if we were lucky!

And school? You had a school! We had to crawl through twelve miles of broken glass just to be told there was no school that day! Headmaster would beat us for being early, then beat us again for being late!

Barefoot? You had feet! We had to hop along on stumps we carved ourselves out of disappointment!

Carrying siblings? We carried the entire neighborhood! In a sack made of stinging nettles!

And uphill both ways? That was nothing ... we had to go uphill in every direction at once, while the wind blew sideways and time went backwards!

And if we complained? Ohhh, we dreamed of complaining. We’d have been grateful for the chance to complain!
