Rather young
When I was rather young, I finally discovered the magic art of self snake charming, with such enjoyment that I believed it to be such a great taboo that it was OBVIOUSLY detectable by my parents that I'd been doing it. I therefore decided that OBVIOUSLY my mother who emptied the bin in my bedroom would notice the used tissues (despite the fact that it was always fill up anyway due to bad sinuses) and would notice if I went to the loo in the night to flush them (yeah, 'cos that's weird, right?), so devised many methods, including hiding them somewhere till the morning and quickly flushing them come daylight.

That became dangerous as I would reguarly forget and find them many days later, and worry that one day my mother might find out my horrific secret!

I eventually opted for.... throwing them out the window, hoping the wind would carry them. Problem is, I had a rather large garden stretching out from both windows, and to make matters worse, they were fenced quite highly. So... the tissues never went far. My mum would reguarly walk the dog early in the morning, and I thought I was doing fine, till about a month on...


"Finest, can you PLEASE stop throwing tissues out of your window every night?"

The shame.
