TRYING TO SUM up an Irish childhood might seem like hard work, but the good people of Twitter took over the place with the #GrowingUpIrish hashtag tonight.
And the results were brilliantly accurate:
They covered every topic
You learned that move from an early age.
The standard summer holiday
This mortifying ritual
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Plenty of this – no harm*
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
*well, actually, maybe some harm.
Every Irish child’s nemesis
The highlights of your Sunday
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The fabled backseats
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Always leaving with a sneaky tenner
The cure all
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Even better than flat 7Up.
When will this noble sport take its rightful place in the Olympics?
The mating ritual of the Irish school disco
This ringing endorsement
Hysterical, but also correct to be worried
This sign of the apocalypse
Which is slightly ironic because now you can’t get enough of the place.
This truth that hits home for many
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
What else would they be wearing?
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And finally, this killer school move
*applause*
