'Are you strong?'
I keep hearing her say it. She said she was asked in a supermarket but it disturbed her all day. She didn't understand why a simple question about carrying her items would pester her mind but I told her to drop it behind.

Instructions for Remaining Serious in a Courtroom
Below is a practical guide for when you absolutely should not find something funny: You do not plan to laugh. You are not trying to be disrespectful; you are not cruel.
