the interviewees’ attitudes such as "laugh uncontrollably" which isn’t necessary and should not be included in the formal writing paper.

I for one, knew numerous kids that did that at an early age, even I personally wanted to play with my brother’s toys at times and I never liked wearing dresses when I was young.
