on principle they will always do the wrong thing at the wrong time. they are like infants, but they look like full grown people, and they use that in the service of acting like infants with the weapons of full grown people. when you're down, they'll always kick you. when you are viciously attacked, they will all participate. wherever they are in your life, they will be in your life in all the wrong ways. and they are always in your life, no matter how much you don't want them to be.
