I thought I heard a woman say Do the work yourself, boys, do the work yourself But I can say it in a better way Do the work yourself, boys, do the work yourself I have a lot of feelings and I don’t know why?I only get angry because boys don’t cry I’m feeling really lonely, I think that it’s your fault?No I don’t want to talk, I just want to pout I’m feeling really hungry, what should I do?…I didn’t do that chore, ’cause you didn’t ask me to I think I filled it out, can you check that I did it right?Wow I never knew that, Jeff, thanks for your insight I made a joke, you didn’t laugh, so now I’ll say it louder?I don’t like your plans but I’ve got nothing better I’m a grown-ass man and I can’t use Google Calendar?I’m calling to ask you questions you answer in the email I sang a song that’s racist, and you made me feel bad?This is my safe space, I shouldn’t have to feel sad
