I always use, like, well Chris Hoy's mom was a big A or dad, his mom or dad were big A, and he had a hard time, he hated it. And then a couple other friends and then the combination of whether if your parents were in A, Chuck, or you were sent away to one of those teen boarding schools, it's really hard to accept.
