I was in my kid's secondary school student support office one morning where one student was telling his friend about the time his dad threw him through a window. It wasn't a big, heavy conversation, just a recounting of it as something that was a bit of a novelty. So I pipe up and say, "Hey, there's even a word for that!" which in a strange way left them somewhat pleased.
