When growing up as a child I would go to the toilet, and now as an adult I know what those noises were.
They were tugging and jerking sounds, along with heavy breathing. I had no idea what was going on. I remember too telling my mum about it.
But I now know. We had no phones or tablets back then. So maybe it was a Watchtower or Awake magazine. Or something stored in the memory bank. But why couldn't they wait until home.
