"You play the violin? You do in your eye"

It may have been 10-15 years ago but somehow everyone remembers the day you sat your leaving cert oral exams like it was yesterday.

Reaming off pages and pages of vocabulary in a prefab corridor before reciting it your best robotic voice to the examiner, who knows damn well that you don’t have any sisters, and that your dad is not a doctor.
