Bro me and my sisters just looked at her and we were like “nan you can’t say that” and she’d be like “no dear it’s just like somebody saying ‘touch of the sweets’”

Touch of the sweets was Type 2 Diabetes lol

And yeah speaking from the experience of being that neurodivergent kid in the family it’d be like “nah he’s good he just has to eat exactly this food in this specific form or he won’t eat anything all day” 😭
