NAME:
Lorelai,
It was so good when I lived there in the countryside. The house had a backyard with millions of things, it even had a chicken coop. I talked to everything chicken, dog, cat, gecko, I talked to so many people you can't even imagine, Lorelai. There was a tree to climb, a river flowing in the background, each hiding place was so good that we could stay hidden all our lives that no one thought. My father and mother were always laughing, they walked hand in hand, it was a very nice thing to see. Now, everything is different: they live with a frown, fight for nothing, argue about anything. And then it's everyone's turn to sulk. The other day I asked: what's going on that all the time there's a fight? Do you know what they said? That was no child's business.
