I am to excuse the swearing, fucking theatrical when one of my children interrupts me reading. I'm like a cosplay Great Uncle Bulgaria from the Wombles, and I faff with my glasses and get up from repose like I'm being winched by poltergeists.I'd say it has over time decreased interruptions by about 5-10% edit: I say "My children, on reflection I mean.. anyone"@NickEast_IndieWriter @reading @bookstodon @books @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop
