Well, I try not to "train" my friends.  We're into theses things called
honesty & shared opinions.

Of course!  That's the whole "pernt," Edith!  Making fun of Pete.  Watching
us squirm.  Or at the very least, looking to us for reasons & explanations.

Just because *your* friends & family are afraid to state their opinions
to you doesn't mean the rest of the world is operating that way.

Don't blame our friends.  Blame Pete.  *He* initiated all this shit.
