being raised by online means that occasionally you fail to code switch successfully and say something like, "actually heads of governance only do this when they're extremely distressed" in a meeting.
I told my son off yesterday for tracking his muddy football boots through the whole house. He asked me about two hours later if I was still mad at him, and my automatic response was: "I'm not mad. Don't put in the newspaper that I'm mad."
A colleague, L, had gone to a craft workshop & built little rosettes for umbrellas, run by some lady. L showed me the rosette and I was like 'oh what does she do?' and L started descrbing the workshop host. I had to remember oh yes offline non-queers don't call inanimate objects 'she'.
