Also I got to meet my friend's baby, who was born not long after I went to the UK, and she did that thing cats do. I'm not good with kids and not really sure of them, so she demanded I cuddle her.
I'm big on keeping my personal space/touching, and lil kids just have zero respect for that. So it's not that I don't like the poor wee things, it's just ..don't put your hand on my face plz.
