I figured it out on my own, and I also figured out the manipulation behind it, and it was one of the early things that made me start distrusting adults. What else are they lying to me about? Can I ever trust their intentions? Look how they present a united front and how much effort it took for me to corner them before they'd admit it. Look at all the other kids who still believe it, they're all being used and don't realize. I have to tell them.
