Here's the reality. How many agree you could be making out with someone and it can turn awkward like that? If you agree that's true, say that's true. Yeah. Ever heard of braces? Watch out. Yes. You're not afraid of being awkward. You're really good at it. Every now and then I meet a student. They do this. They go, Mike, you don't know me. I've got game. Yeah.
