-->'''Parvati:''' BOOSH. Exploded all over Mr. Tobson. One bottle after another as the loaders went by. I was just shy of working age, so [[RealityEnsues dad had to pay all the damages]]. [[NeverLiveItDown Moreau's still angry at me]]. I can laugh about it now, but I just about puked up my guts in terror at the moment. That's the one time I ever made Mr. Tobson look a fool.
