Because people make mistakes

Erigeron you sweet thing. If you were a person you’d be Boo, Fleabag’s best friend played by @jenny.rainsford

Known as Mexican Fleabane. Fleabane and Fleabag. Must be why the show has that name. It grows almost anywhere, cracks in walls especially. Evergreen! Dependable! Goes with anything.

The nicest person ever. Gentle, forgiving, easy going, always kind no matter the situation. That’s what made it worse. This bit of the script does it for me:

Fleabag: OK, an 11-year-old boy was put in juvenile prison for repeatedly sticking rubber ended pencils up his school hamster's arsehole.

Boo: What? Why would they do that?

Fleabag: Apparently he liked it when their eyes popped out.

Boo: No, why would they send him away?He needs help.

They shouldn't have just locked him up.

Fleabag: He pencil-f*cked a hamster.

Boo: Yeah, but he's obviously not happy, happy people wouldn't do things like that.

Fleabag: Fair point.

Boo: And anyway, that's the very reason why they put rubbers on the end of pencils.

Fleabag: To f*ck hamsters?

Boo: No, because people make mistakes.
