I fish out me sheath and release a long, glittering stream at the hydrant.
"Haha, very cute. Dog, hydrant. But you can't piss here," you admonish.
"What's piss?" I ask completely earnest as I soak the sidewalk in pre.

I apologise to my children who if they were screaming at the tops of their voices in a restricted space such as a train I would admonish & instruct to quieten down. This was clearly the wrong thing to do as the screaming kids being encouraged by their parent to ‘enjoy themselves’ are obviously fine.

Had a Canadian “friend” admonish me today because I haven’t done enough to get rid of Trump and that Americans have a false of exceptionalism that caused this crisis. My response was do you get news where you live; have you seen us on the streets; do you follow court news; have you seen the photos?
