Appreciate that this isn’t philosophical, and it doesn’t stretch to the requirements of a full magazine feature or word count, but could any of it just be that he’s a dick.

A friend of mine, aged about 4, having been told by her mum that if all she ate was sweets then she’d get a big belly, greeted a very pregnant lady on the bus with the words “I know what YOU have been doing!”

This was hard for her mum to explain on several levels.
