Really young children can say incredibly rude things pointblank and get away with it. Because they’re little. They don’t know better.
Really old individuals can call you the unthinkable right to your face. But that’s okay. Because they’re old; they’ve put in their time. And they forget things.
I’m somewhere in the middle. Where I have to be nice to everyone all the time. Because unlike the old and very young, I should know better and better not forget it.
It sucks.
