When I was 14, I was pulled out of school and sent to the principal's office. I thought I was in trouble. I arrived to find my dad waiting, ready to deliver the blow. "Pinch and a punch!"

I've got a tour guide to say the magic words in the middle of a holiday tour. He's used my friends against me. It's happened in a live poetry reading. It's happened at a funeral. It ruins New Year's Eve.

    Text - Bridie Connell 27 21 696 @BridieKConnell · 16h There are a series of rules to do with time zones (we live in different countries). There is a yearly tally. There is a jury made up of my aunties for when we can't figure out who has won that particular month.

Omg it's finally happening, the moment I have been dreaming of for years. I'm going to be UPGRADED, baby!! "I have a special delivery for you, Bridie."

    Text - Bridie Connell O @BridieKConnell · 16h 27 24 O 1.0K Beau hands me a letter. I open it. I silently scream. It's not an upgrade. Beau grins and shakes my hand. Hands me his card. "And just remember you can't call your dad, phones have to be in flight mode from .. now."

    Text - Bridie Connell 27 32 1.3K @BridieKConnell · 16h I have to hand it to my dad, and to Air Nz. And Beau, the most hilarious and lovely man. I am SO annoyed but also SO impressed. And the worst part is tonight l'll have to sit through a family dinner with everyone telling and retelling this story and dad being all smug.
