I suspect your dad would edit your sentence and spank you for inserting the unnecessary and incorrect preposition “at”. If I became emperor of the world I would banish it from the language because it’s almost normal now for people to put lt at the end of sentences.

You asked for it! Here's my bot fly larva growing in my back, probably around 12 days old at this point. If you look closely you'll see two little dark hooks– those are its breathing spiracles it pokes out to get air.
