Mother, I don't like them.
Mother, everyone scares me.
Why can't Daddy come home?
Why can't he be here?
He can fight off scary people.
He can stop my crying.
I can't stop crying, Mother.
The other kids hurt me.
Even Brother scares me.
Don't throw your bottles at me.
Please, I know you love me.
Why won't you listen to me?
