Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.

Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.
