World Service I'm Pascal hasa Welcome to the program in this edition how New Zealand is still working on its national story 250 years after the arrival of Captain Cook We have the human side of the story of Hong Kong's political turmoil how plans for a wedding banquet clashed with protests violence and fear and the farm on the rugged northern islands of the Pharaohs where they're too busy to be lonely come with us for a visit later in the program but 1st to Uganda when you where ema 70 came to power in this East African country in 1906 Ugandans pins their hopes on him the scholars of India means dictatorship was still rough and rule Mr Ms 70 promised freedom and democracy but then in government he wasn't quite so open to dissent he did have to battle against the child kidnapping of the Lord's Resistance Army though which ravaged parts of northern Uganda over the years as the threat receded questions emerged was he ever going to let anyone else have a go at the presidency perhaps though Uganda needed a strong man now the war in the north of Uganda is over and the frustration and Mr Ms seventies continuing grasp on government is or double but then he stays in the presidential palace beating off challenges in vote after vote in 2021 there will be another presidential election in Uganda and a viable contender has emerged He's the former musician and current m.p.

Wine supporters say that he offers a new way of doing politics and new hope to the dispossessed he has called the government of Mr Ms 70 worries the authorities have cancelled his concerts fired tear gas at his rallies and this week sealed off his home income Pala Sally Hayden has been spending time with the man and his own. As we careened over a bump in the road my head hit the reef in the back of the car please can we ask the driver to be more careful I begged the skinny smiling music producer sitting next to me he hesitated suddenly looking a bit shy only then did I realize the wine one of Uganda's most famous men was the one behind the wheel we had been in the car all day travelling hundreds of kilometers to campaign in a by election which Uganda is reeling party would eventually when for a large portions of the trip we'd been surrounded by hundreds of people cheering and chanting for the man they were already calling President wine standing through the cars open so Rafe responded with plenty of into c s stick fist pumping We also focused on dodging the police and military who twice bucked the raid in front of the car and regularly drove past us menacingly early that morning when we 1st got into the vehicle another journalist asked what the pungent smell inside was marijuana the music producer smiled this is the rather surreal life of Bobby wine a pop star turned leading opposition politician he's entourage are still figuring out the strange transition from music to a life of father Tex Uganda's current president has been in Paris since 1906 and he's wrestled last year one was arrested and said he'd been tortured in custody it attracted international attention basing his popularity even more graffiti reading free Bobby can still be seen on walls across Kampala.

Sally Hayden this month New Zealand is marking a pivotal event in its short history as a modern nation it was in 1769 that visitors from European shores 1st came into contact with the country's original set Les the Maori people descended from the Polynesian culture which spans the Pacific Ocean over the past week a replica of the British Captain James Cook's ship Endeavor has been visiting the spot where he 1st came ashore 250 years ago the town of bone earlier this month the British high commissioner to New Zealand went to gaze born to express regret for the deaths of Maori when James Cook 1st came ashore that encounter foreshadowed wider conflicts and eventually full scale colonise ation but the replica of Cook ship is still part of the state sponsored events and these seeming contradictions make the current commemorations of Cook's arrival but controversial and confusing for many New Zealand including Colleen Peacock earlier this year I went to the place where 250 years ago this month kept them cook became the 1st person to set foot on what was to become New Zealand I was marking a significant anniversary of my own 50 years since I was born in the same place the small city of God has been on a hill above the shoreline I visited the imposing bronze statue of cook in a sleep gazing at the say it was put up around the time I was born to mark the 200th anniversary of his arrival the location and the timing of just coincidental but Cook's appearance and my birth and gives been 200 years later linked to his arrival kickstarted British Columbia My parents were both among thousands of Britons encouraged to settle in this part of the British Commonwealth after the 2nd World War My father arrived in the early 1960 s. As one of the so-called 10 Pound Poms some named because that was all that migrants from what was then still cold. The mother country had to pay for their passage to New Zealand after 6 weeks it seems I had no problem getting jobs or citizenship upon arrival post colonial privilege at work. That makes me a 1st generation New Zealand of British to St a citizen of both countries but with only shallow roots an h. And perhaps that's why I was fairly And they've all been to about 2 to 50 this month series of state backed commemorations to here has a muddy wood with connotations of binding together and the choice of language and phrasing reveal a fair bit about local sensitivities it's not a simple celebration of the arrival of the man my childhood history books told me discovered New Zealand because of course he didn't at least 500 years earlier Polynesian never gauges had discovered and populated the place the and sisters of the Mahdi they are linked with the land at the heart of their culture and identity and that was strained by the conflict and disposition that came during British colorize ation so it's no wonder that some didn't want to see Coke's arrival celebrated 250 years on or replica of the Endeavor arriving in good spends harbor. Soon after visiting Captain Cook's statue and gives been a drug in the family to the nearby daily rockslide in the age of commodified mass tourism this is famous as a fun thing you can still do for free the accelerating head 1st down 60 meters of smooth weight rock face before slipping into a churning murky pool of water at the bottom isn't everyone's idea of fun. People packed they cause at the top and then charge down the rock slide on polystyrene body boards in a tube saw inflatable mattresses and when they're done they pack up and drive off with no idea that they close to the site of what an official tribunal once declared to be the worst atrocity of New Zealand's colonial period in 869100 years after the 1st contact with Captain Cocke more than a 100 Madi prisoners who had resisted British troops in the region were executed there but there's no memorial had the place where that happened much like many other sites where British and local troops loyal to the crown for the bloody battles against Mahdi warriors. Nevertheless leaving the little rock slide that day I saw a priest Ixion board melted on wooden poles in a neighboring paddock that had been put there by the local tribal group to find a car just a few days before to till curious visitors about what had happened in 869 unlike the way he brought the statue of Captain Cook the guests but how about that plastic board and its slim wooden poles didn't look as if it would last long but in a fit of the sign of changing attitudes to history that bronze statue of Cork is now gone after repeated acts of vandalism as the 250th anniversary drew closer the statue was moved to been Xmen museum and may there it's described not as a memorial or monument to crooks arrival but is an artifact that can help New Zealanders understand the changing perspectives of a history and it turns out that out effect is also a kind of edit historians have discovered as one of 3 copies of a marble statue which was originally made to promote the Captain Cook brewery and or Clint back in the early eighties like this young country itself New Zealand's history is a work in progress call in Peacock You're listening to from our own correspondence with me Pascoe hasa here on the b.b.c. World Service next to the city of Hong Kong and the crisis many people including presumably a large portion of its 7000000 residents did not expect to last this long this is after all a city high paid good Tacoma us they say that you can get a coffee and a bagel at any time of night in New York one Hong Kong residents once described her as easy to me as a place you can get your toilet fixed at 3 in the morning not at the moment antigovernment protests 1st broke out in June they were set off by the introduction of draft legislation that would have allowed extradition of suspected criminals to mainland China for trial although. That bill was later withdrawn the damage to public trust was done there are now weekly demonstrations driven largely by anger at what the protestors see as a heavy handed response by the police but taking in wider resentment on resistance towards Beijing to the government of Hong Kong ups the ante last week by introducing an emergency law banning protesters from wearing face masks stirring more anger and in the midst of it people are of course still trying to get on with their lives like on Helena Chung who had some long standing plans of her own October the 4th was meant to be the day I celebrated my wedding Unfortunately the Hong Kong government had other ideas Hong Kong wedding banquets a big family focused events you normally invite a lot of people we had more than 300 guests and a 12 course dinner planned with set the date before the political crisis began but even as protests became a weekly occurrence we pledged to proceed Hong Kong is have a can do attitude and weddings are considered so important that people normally attend no matter what but things kept escalating and as the big day approached Hong Kong was on edge on China's National Day phonons fled in several districts with masked protesters throwing petrol bombs and fighting police during clashes police shot one teenager in the chest with a live round banquet was scheduled for Friday afternoon the venue was a hub of activity when I arrived stuff was setting up dozens of round tables decorated with flowers and gold and shake of his we had a piano on stage 2 hours before the banquet my phone started buzzing the government had used emergency powers to announce a new law banning face masks at all protests starting from midnight they said this was to restore order but Critics feared it could lead to more draconian measures it was clear the announcement. Could trigger particularly violent clashes employers started sending stuff home fearing the subway system would close early we had today Lemon we had guests who'd flown a long way should be press ahead or postpone as I waited in the bright room the venue manager came in shutting the door discreetly behind him your families have cold they think we should postpone he said in a way it was a relief if we had gone ahead we would have spent all night worrying. I went into crisis management mode texting all my friends about the change of plan I watched as the wedding decorations were quickly dismantled tables moved aside and items rolled away on trolleys the venue employees needed to hurry home to as I left there were already mass to protest is dressed in the signature black on the streets that night protest as smashed up shops seen as pro China and vandalized metro stations when I saw that the entire metro system was suspended for the 1st time in history I knew that postponing was the right decision postponing a wedding is stressful but the uncertainty facing Hong Kong is far more worrying it is shocking seeing Hong Kong previously one of the safest cities in the world reeling from violence as teenagers my friends and I felt safe staying out late now if we meet for dinner we try to finish early regularly checking our phones to work out the fastest route home trust in the authorities has plummeted with the government accused of mismanagement and police accused of brutality friends warn me not to wear black clothing in case police or gangsters mistake me for a protester and attack me meanwhile some of my mainland Chinese friends are nervous about speaking Mandarin in public most Hong Kong is speak Cantonese so they worry they'll be targeted by protesters angry at Beijing a lot has changed in the last few months but the underlying tension was always that Hong Kong is enjoy free speech but not for democracy so there's always been resentment at the government which is seen as answering to Beijing on Sunday I watched as protesters blocked the financial district again they were wearing masks in defiance of the band and seems just as determined as before 2 teenagers told me they were afraid of being arrested but also feared they would soon lose the right to protest despite everything aspects of normal life have continued shopkeepers a still busy doing business even as other stores remain boarded up on Sunday amid the demonstrations I could see the city's foreign domestic help is sitting on the roadside happily chatting with friends on their day off I've managed to reschedule the wedding banquet later this month I'm looking forward to it because the truth is whatever happens in the world nothing beats spending time with family and friends. Hellyeah Chung in the northern hemisphere it's always him and the days. Especially so in the faro Islands 250 kilometers northwest of mainland person the main activity there at this time of year is gathering in the sheep. That's hard work anyway but they're all special challenges on the pharaoh's smallest inhabited island here there are just full adults who have to rely on helicopters to get everything on and off the film whether the missing team Eckhart ventured out on store a doom and around 500 years with lambs ready for slaughter have been driven down from the high pasture work done by the 4 adults and 6 sheep dogs who live on the small island at this busiest time of year a few trusty friends also fly in to help if it doesn't stop the helicopter coming just 2 and a half kilometers square store a diamond has been home to the same family for 8 generations Ava or doormen is the current farm and she and her husband venue and live in one half of the semi detached from house while her younger brother Yanis and his wife Ella live next door between them the couples have 5 children ranging in age from 3 to 16. Fairly cheap wild and Shaggy and Ondoy when they live on the steep slopes that rise 400 metres above the Atlantic sometimes even they fall into the Sea Diamond has no boat service and there's just one landing spot on the small rocky 4 shore accessible in really calm conditions from that the only way up onto the plateau where the farmhouse sits is via a narrow path just wide enough for one person at a time where sections of steel cable act as a hand rail you need to be self-reliant to live here the families have their own milk cow and ducks and geese and chickens and a few cattle as well as the sheep they also grow potatoes. And juicy white turnips which due to the short summer don't grow very big but a crisp and sweet and can be eaten raw like apples everything sold from the farm has to leave by the Atlantic Airways helicopter a government subsidized service that makes living here possible it comes 3 times a week and as I step out under the sliding rotor blades it's Yanis who greets me with a firm handshake he has me out of the way filling the seats occupied with bags of turnips which will be in supermarkets in the Capitol tours haven't Tamara. It was Janice who taught me the traditional method of birth control on fairies sheep using a regular serving needle and some thick string we loosely stitched flaps of plastic sheeting on to the world of the sheep's hind quarters a primitive but effective method of barrier contraception that would ensure the youngest used could not be impregnated when they were put out onto the hells very young use tend to be poor mothers and this gives them a winter to gain strength and experience using the barrier method means the Rams and the use can be put out to pasture together otherwise the Rams would have to be kept inside until later in the year we want our meat to taste fresh and natural it friendly on explained the sheep live as close to a wild life as possible our customers value the special taste of join in and our sheep are a little smaller and why Rhea and some other flocks because they have to deal with the steep ground. Avers older children now commute to school by helicopter and stay weekdays in the capital they come home to help with the slaughter I watch 7 year old Ali Jaco take the sheep's head from his father and line them up in the sun to dry they're a delicacy here in Pharaoh's. Each evening after a day of slaughtering and butchering the sheep a streamlined operation where everyone has a job to do and almost every part of the animal is used for meat we all gather in the farmhouse kitchen for dinner lamb sausages fermented Maton and potatoes grown on the island washed down with unpasteurized milk children ever fridge it's sweeter than any milk I've ever tasted. One evening as she was separating intestinal fat from slaughtered sheep for rendering his talent I asked Eva if she ever felt lonely here no never that's a state of mind that has nothing to do with how many people are around I could be lonely in a city where I didn't know anyone but here there's always work to be done and I have my family. By the end of the week the farms meat shed is filled with the fresh carcasses of this year's lambs they will dry out slowly in the Atlantic wind blows through the open slanted sides turning dark shades of coppery golden brown as they ferment through the winter months.

The American Simone Biles has become the most decorated gymnast in history she's won 2 gold at the tournament in Germany bringing her total medal haul to $25.00 b.b.c. News. So. This is a program all about young interpreters. That say. 4 years ago when I was 9. My research at University College London is all about kids who do translating work for their families this is because they're often able to pick up English more quickly than their parents there are thousands of children like her in the u.k. Translating in crucial places like at the doctor. Just. Doing tasks navigating the life of their families it really does create a role reversal in the parent child dynamic. As we enter their world in their extraordinary light. The thought of. Taking English classes and sometimes uses a Google Translate app on her phone rather than asking her daughter for help with homework my mom she's just. Full. Proof. Harvey. And there's nothing else she's moved twice but it gives those who resist. The you know when. She was a english homework and she saw this what she couldn't understand which was Koby I don't know why she is that is the same thing in Spanish really knows it the same way as well. I could. Translate I sometimes go through this to cool put situations for example when I have to translate from my parents' evening at school. I go along with Marian and her mom my lives the parents the Catholic Girls Secondary School in London and action and sometimes my own has to translate things she'd prefer to keep from her mother and finds herself prematurely caught in the role between parent and teacher. I've. Been meaning to go to translate into the night. I teach your daughter computer science. Your daughter's target weight a quick look a there. Is a mastery for have 1st Has she got secure and she pretty good a process going to cheat it starts off well she's received a high great exam in this had case of hearing kids this was also the ballot in my street to study and. Now what I will say is that my mother had a very short period in that time she's working well but I do find sometimes can be any bit jarring when for. Caroline. Harding. Translate accurately to the moms that she's been to chatting class is it I mean someone asked put a kid a story most. And they say a book called the implicit in the case knowing we. Don't. Know. Marty and this one most of. The images because they look at his color. So she said that she wasn't aware that I spoke during class. To card pretty quickly Trice to lessen the flow. You know follows me not unless you do must also must in the case now know could only know. What all is a by coming out of. This. And to commit something plus to give it a minute then you know mom thinks my I was watching too many Spanish soap operas she missed she's already mad and I just break for like 2 minutes is no big deal I can fix it it's just a little conversation like a break. But she's taken a really serious. List you look up said Gene doesn't like the fact that I do during class and that I apparently apparently enjoys me away from my fake you saying when she doesn't feel like she thinks she's definitely translates exactly what the t. To play a chance but it minimizes the double standard that I was questioning whether I should translate it like under the sand I don't know but then I realized I should and that's what my mom is reacting like this because my mom read the face of the teaches into saying a bad or a good thing so. It would be useless if I. Could be translating about how they're doing it school and often translating how their siblings think it's go so it's a perfect office in. Really themselves in the eyes of their parents often they do they do translate you know what's being said but sometimes they have a sprinkle of magic on to that and quite a few young people have told us that I personally came to the topic because I'm someone who's migrated to different countries myself and I have lived in Pakistan I've lived in Scotland and when I actually moved to Pakistan at the age of 13 I had to learn a new language from scratch they was really aware that it was very difficult to communicate when you didn't know how to kind of speak the local language so I really have a lot of admiration for these kids because they really helping to to link up their families and to help their families feel more confident and settled and to understand what's going on around them. Is a plus 3 Date. And making my way. Young translates Ryan and he is a very kind of exceptional young man speaks Italian and Bengali He's a young Paris to. Me So he started off in Bangladesh and then moved to Italy with his family where he picked up Italian and finds himself in London and crime is 17 years old I've known him since he was about 14 since I've been working a. Number of kids at his school and we have kept in touch on and off so we're going to meet him and his mum today and see what she has to say. And what I'm going. To go home from prison or not. My mum. Only need to do so of course I speak learn to talk again my parents have been good he saw this big grin gordie and i speak for him been good years ago and then I came here I struggled the 1st 2 years to speak English Bernard can speak going to English was Will my mum she speak from Bengali. Italian and English she's learning English she struggled is pretty Italian. I missed that I. Tell you that you lived from nice to nice. Both by my colleague Dr c. Request or have heard the story of parents moving to better their children's education time and again we've been speaking to hundreds of young translators like crime over the last 4 years amazingly these are children who are translating not only in 2 languages but 3 or more I just school in east London Ryan has a band of friends from families which originated in sight then travelled to Italy before coming to Britain these kids speak. At home Italian with friends now English sometimes switching between all 3 languages I've seen them all go up supporting each other and rush on e m 19 years old I was very new to the and my parents are from soon and plays ago I came here you know and. My name is a team and I'm 19 years old and I speak one left home English outside from Italy where living here now my name is Kabir and I'm 18 years old I'm from Italy and I came in this country roughly 4 years ago my name is 6018 years old I came from Italy is all born or raised in Italy parents are from buy a dish. So we do some Italian Don't worry I don't because. Of my I remember he would break out into Italian all the time when I used to with my kids but I'm. Can you tell us then about the last time you translated When was the last time you translated for your family or friends last time I think it was last because sometimes my mom like shows me videos from You Tube like he watches tries to find like benefits of different battles or like different things and he's like Ok Do things can you translate for me and I'm like again sometimes tiring like when they are being continuously now but yes they have to do it anyway I mean is a struggle to be honest I remember my mom saying always taking a comment. To the bank because there's a you know I need you know just I just needed you if she know if my English was and it wasn't that good and then sometimes she would start. As Yeah yes that language barrier every single time so. Usually he's the only one who asked for hope so. He asked me or my sister he does he ask more. Asks me obviously I don't know why even complain sometimes like what or to also. Ask me every time to call me be Vodafone or why do I need to call like. To talk about the bills for the water 'd what do you know that were done to us mostly So to bring us will never get into fights with your sister and I thought. Maybe once a week at least more valuable than her like she's always in university or she works or most most of the times sometimes I feel annoyed like if you ask me like call Vodafone telling them I need to cancel a contract and she doesn't know the number and telling me to go to the store I went to the store and they're like. I don't find any number so I don't know what to do. If you've got in the background asking what are they saying his just keep asking them off on something out so I keep telling them. And in the background your dad's like keep asking keep that. Just put some pressure on them I know what they need to do but even if he's responsible for it like he should know the number by dozen or so so how do you when you came and how long did it take you to 9 English I came here when I was 13 years old and he took me roughly 2 to 3 years because I was lazy I didn't want to learn it so because I didn't really want to leave it early because I had everything there all my friends my everything literally I had everything and moving to England it was like it broke my heart because I left and I came here I was alone because I had done under friend I remember he told me we can go back no you need to accept it then no one understood. I had to dust when I started really helping my mom and how did you learn it did your friends help you. To be honest I had Italians friends. I heard my teacher hold me and my classmate told me when I have to write something a 1st thing can you tell and then I translate a new leash can you tell me why your accent is the way it is at home and there was nobody to speak English with me or anyone so and even school like you have too many friends because I was really shy and I still am so when I had only one friend I would be really scared to talk to her because I thought people might judge me off because I don't know how to speak English so I used to watch a lot of movies or American t.v. Shows and stuff like that and I think that kind of held me because after I was to movie I would like play the scenes in my head and I'm like I'm trying to talk their way or something so I think that kind of helped me to learn English and get back some from them and that's amazing what's your favorite show then. I really don't have one but Shadow Hunter was one of the around that are really really like me still do and waiting for the last episode also teen wolf is a really good one I really enjoy it that is because of Stiles he's like amazing love his acting. Which shows stuff which is going to assist. My aunt and her mum talk about what teaches that is but it is inevitable that sometimes not all of the emotion and detail it's the leap across this can become a problem in places such as a doctor's surgery or hospitals. Well there are professional interpreters they can be in short supply and often families don't know the exist. Translating technical words is difficult and these cause problems for Marian and also for her friends at school like just more older translates Spanish and the Livia translates for her mom in Polish how many of your mom you go with your parents to the doctors. What happens when you go to the doctor as. Well I usually go to doctors by myself because my parents work and things and if my parents are going to doctors I have to not go to school so that I can go with them and translate for them and does anyone else have to do this I have to go most of the time like it's literally all the time or not all the time it's just like because my mom she had like a surgery so she needs to go like to a g.p. Hospital continuously so every time I go to the g.p. I actually learn new words because the things that I don't have no idea how to say like. I like I don't know there were a cyst cyst I had no idea like I did I didn't know how to see in English and also confused and I was trying to communicate with the doctor telling telling him like something similar to and in the hospital it's much harder they don't let me translate sometimes they say I'm not allowed because you need to be 18 and over so I can't go sometimes of my mum to the hospital but you know the g.p. And the hospital sometimes it's kind of just like don't want to go because my mom's thing is bike really really complicated and mostly I knew why because this is the same with my mum she's always like well but because one term we were in the hospital until 1230 in the night and it was an emergency because she she for her back was really kind of like it hurt her really bad and we were seeking for doctor. And we waited there for 2 hours and that's how they show up and when they finally show up my mom was so furious she was just shouting and everyone was staring all sly Mom can I go home it was Thursday so I had school the next day so I was like I'm on this just do this real quick and then the does how was I was home with him I'm a filler she like it was a problem with this you come back pains and the doctor said oh I thought it was something to do with like Tempa. I was like. I was kind of here is myself but I didn't want to say it because if I did say that doctors will be like. I don't know I'd just be let go just say the wrong side of us and just don't look forward to the attendance was something. To language I admit I lost you did language you fell to the back of my mind. A bright 16 year old came to the u.k. From Poland in 2008 when she was 8 and have it all and she reflects on the worries of losing grasp of her mother tongue she's caught in the emotions of a life but you know Polish but I. Did language I admitted I lost you for giving me . The language will you help again my mother always sure arrival when will I let you know. As the centers that everyone says about knowing not English speakers like you're in England speak English I hate so much. People that speak just English. Quite if they don't understand that this is now a multicultural country and you should be more understanding towards people that can't speak English the 1st things you learn in a different language are this was because obviously you don't want to be disrespected and not know about that but people would recognise that we're Persian they would yell take I think Kurdish something and it's been happening a lot more we're kind of trying to keep calm and figure out what to do anything happens all those people. Never get negative comments on. Immigrants I think the jealous because. My dad left a really good job needs only just for me so I feel like. When I finish university I have to get a really good job to. Make my father happy. Because. He came in just for me so I have a big responsibility and a big pressure. We've come to meet any He's 19 exceptionally sparkly wise beyond her years and speaks English Italian and at least she's with her mom she's kicking risotto and we're right. Obviously. I'd say she wanted to make we have the full Bush and he really is the linchpin of our family and has like prime high aspirations for her future but for now she translates to text messages from her mom's employers a fried chicken shop for example these. Please. Cranston. Some key though here is. Team Please check the. Item on missing last week if you don't understand anything else they will spring we need to control the old in older missing items shiny also has had to translate highly technical legal documents for her parents well I do a lot of research I'm quite good. Quite responsible I guess these are some of the things you do you see you learn from like you need to tell you I didn't I didn't do it like or dislike the doctor like going to do something they will take care of it like I would just see but now here I has to be and be responsible for them as well so the world can go to. Their mind like I guess I was like oh this is this is kind of on for but then I was like wait I like I'm kind of proud of it now because like. You're kind of the head of the day. You. Like the things that I'm seeing is it does influence the gardens and is nice to feel important like since I'm young. Back in my and spared sleeping. Time Mommy learn how we. a secure plus. 30 s is also. Been not my release tells me she's so proud of her daughter and so she should be They've been through difficult times for example when they were without heating for an entire year and it was up to Marianne to try and get landlord to fix the problem. Family my parents were always like come on show them you know you have to show them that we're angry otherwise they won't do anything about a you have to show that you want this problem to solve and I don't like shouting because I know shouting can I never call anyone I know it's something to be angry about book I just never had the guts to do it I just texted him literally daily so he could respond to something and. Yeah one year later he did how did you feel when the heating got fixed one year later it was an accomplishment when. Finally fixed. Especially. And. Especially if they. Can lead to them feeling an overdeveloped sense of responsibility. Of their parents . But it also leads to very close and strong between. The north coast of California coast of Oregon.
