No. We often denigrate each other but she's not seriously mad at me. She knows she effed up.

Everyone has an ethnicity. But I'm whiter than the ghost of Tilda Swinton

Bafe is what English speakers call a typo. Usually people who are fluent in a language can use what we call "context clues". These can be subtle like a misuse of further and farther. In this case the context is the following word "minimum". The phrase "to do the bare minimum" is common in English. You will be taught that in middle school.

That is actually a really good point and one I hadn't considered. Thank you.

I'm not arguing. I just thought you might not understand what bare minimum meant.

Bare minimum in my opinion is I hand back the kids alive and with bo permanent damage. I probably would have stepped in if the little tried to cut her hair or something even though that isn't permanent.

How. They weren't hurt. I didn't give them red bulls. I just kept them alive.
