Arms Quote by Philippe Falardeau

“For sure, and we haven't found it yet. I understand why we have come to a time and place where we cannot touch the children at school for obvious reasons. I'm not that old, but back then some teacher would take our arm and squeeze it, and it was not fun.” quote by Philippe Falardeau
