I had a traumatic experience of an eight-years old kid whining in gibberish‚ crying until gagging‚ shrieking at an ear-splitting pitch‚ and throwing up an obnoxious blob of mess all at the same time right before my eyes next to me in a car. Ever since then‚ I put some distance between little children and myself‚ trying to avoid any kinds of interactions with them as much as I can.
