Please tell me I'm not the only one who can relate; No one:
My mom when my brother's doing school and I'm quietly singing in my room with the door shut on the other end of the house from where my brother is doing school: SHUT UP YOU'RE BROTHER IS TRYING TO DO MATH
my mom when I'm doing school and it sounds like my brother is fighting world war 3 while playing the bagpipes and blasting living on a prayer by bon Jovi while he's sitting next to me: liz you just need to block things out. There's not always going to be perfect silence for you to be able to focus.
