    I realised I had become an adult when some woman told her kid “that mister” would tell him off if he didn’t behave, and gestured in my direction. I looked behind me. There was nobody there.

    I had become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. Fear me, little children, and despair.
