S-HG: Sometime you picture yourself getting impaled on an imaginary spike sticking out from over your bed ...
When you keep forgetting to call somebody back ...
But the more time goes by, the less you feel like calling ...
Because you're embarrassed!

'Cause it kind of makes you freaky.

And you don't want people to think you're freaky.

Even though you are kind of freaky.

But only in the bedroom.

L-O-L.

AN-SSM: My mom says I'm really hard on my kids. I don't want them growing up thinking that everything's just gonna be handed ta them. They're gonna haveta work their asses off, just like I did! Y'know? We get them up at six in the morning, we're like, "Come on, get up! Get outta the bed! It's gonna be a great day! C'mon!" <kids not enjoying that at all> "Up, up, UP!"
