With this woman, her name is Sharon Roseman. Okay, enough of that. Enough of that. All right. And we're going to talk about a little, a predicament she got herself into. Um, I was about five years old. I lived in a small suburb of Chicago called Maywood, Illinois. And I was outside playing on the street. Her and a bunch of kids, they're playing this game. Blind man's bluff. And she was it. The person who is it, where's a blindfold. And all the other kids try and scatter around and they have to freeze. And then they can taunt you and you can only hear them. And the objective is basically to feel around, follow the voices until you tag someone. Then they become it. And that's what she does. Everybody laughs because the person that I tagged is kind of the loser, you know, because they found them first. So I'm playing the game and they took the blindfold off and suddenly I didn't know where I was. I didn't recognize anything.
