My baby brother Prince is due any दिन now and the anticipation is driving dad crazy! He’s still shopping for some और supplies because he’s been so busy performing shows; he has not had time to. I don’t think he means to forget about me but, lately he does. Sometimes it’s good for me though, because I’m becoming और independent! Plus Grace gives me a lot of attention when dad is busy working या preparing for the baby to come.
It was a half an घंटा before my bedtime and dad was just getting back to our hotel room after his concert. He came into my bedroom and sat on the edge of my bed. He कहा “I brought आप a cup instead of a bottle because आप don’t need baby bottles anymore! I asked “why?” He कहा “because अगला महीना you’ll be three and you’ll have a baby brother to give your bottles to! I कहा “I already let आप throw away my pacifiers; I don’t want to give up my bottles too! He sounded sympathetic and कहा “listen; I know आप don’t want to but, drinking from a regular cup is not as bad as आप think it is!” I asked “can I just use my bottle for one और night daddy?” He sighed and कहा “no, let’s just get this over with!”
When I realized I wasn’t going to get my way, I reluctantly took a drink from the cup. Grace walked in the room and कहा “I’m glad to see that daddy threw away those baby bottles, it’s about time!” I कहा something that pulled on dad’s heartstrings. I कहा “you took away my pacifiers and my bottles; I hope there’s nothing else आप can take away from me!” He asked “aren’t आप glad आप don’t have to be three years old and still look like a baby because आप still used all that stuff?” I कहा “yeah; I guess you’re right!” He kissed my forehead and कहा “I can’t believe how big आप are getting!”
February 13, 1997,
When I woke up from my nap this afternoon, I was in a hospital room. I looked around and Debbie was laying in a hospital बिस्तर with dad sitting अगला to her with something in his arms. I climbed off the chair that I was sitting in and once he saw me he smiled. I got onto his lap and he कहा “this is your new baby brother Prince!” He moved the blanket away from the शिशु face and that was the first time I saw Prince! I leaned over and gave him a किस on the cheek. He didn’t look anything like what I expected him to; he was a lot cuter! Dad looked at the both of us and कहा “now I have two beautiful angels!”
Debbie looked exhausted as she fought to keep her eyes open, dad कहा “well; I think I’m going to take Alanna and Prince to the house so आप can get some much-needed rest!” She waved goodbye as we walked out of the room. Even though dad tried his best to keep Prince’s birth hidden; somehow it got out and the paparazzi had surrounded the hospital! The bodyguards had to carry me to the SUV because if I walked I would have gotten trampled. The flashes from their cameras were so bright that dad could not see where he was going. They even tried to ask me सवालों but, I had been taught from a very young age never to respond to them.
Once we had safely made it home, I unbuckled my car सीट and hopped out. I walked inside and dad shut the door behind us as he carried Prince in his car seat. I went into the living room and sat on the couch. Dad asked “do आप want to hold Prince?” I shook my head yes and he passed him to me. Dad कहा “let me help आप hold his head up because if I don’t he will get hurt.” He helped me support his head and I कहा “he is so cute daddy!” Dad smiled and कहा “you’re so cute too!” I कहा “okay; daddy I want to go in my playroom now and watch a movie! Will आप help me put a tape in the VCR?” He कहा “I can’t sweetie; I have to feed Prince his bottle but, I’m sure if आप ask Grace she will help you!” He took Prince from me and Grace and I went into the playroom.
Grace sat down on the floor and asked “you know that आप have a whole bunch of new डिज़्नी फिल्में that आप got for क्रिस्मस right?” I कहा “oh yeah; I forgot about those. What ones are new movies?” She grabbed a stack of five फिल्में off the चोटी, शीर्ष of the big TV that was in the room and put them down in front of me. She कहा “you have Toy story, the lion King two, the sword in the stone, the jungle book, and 101 Dalmatians.” I asked “have I seen any of these before?” She कहा “no, I picked them out for आप because आप haven’t seen them yet!” I picked up the toy story case and asked “will आप watch this with me; since daddy’s busy with Prince?” She कहा “yeah, it looks like daddy has things covered with Prince!”
I guess I am going to have to get used to not having my dad’s full attention when he is home! Ever since I’ve been born he has done his best to teach me everything in life that I learned this far. He’s realized that he can’t be there for every sneeze, crazy dance move, and to run around the hotel room and playing hide and seek आप with me. I don’t know how this week is going to go because dad is taking some time off to spend with the baby before he has to do some और concerts. He is happy though because he is bringing in so much cash so he won’t have to tour for a very long time.
February 25, 1997,
Grace left for a few days yesterday, so she could check on her sister. It’s been just dad, Prince, and I since she has been gone. Dad is starting to feel overwhelmed, but he’s trying his best to keep his cool. I don’t think I’m making it any easier on him though!
I had just gotten up from my nap and went into the living room in our hotel room. That’s when things started to get on dad’s nerves! He had just put Prince down for a nap in his बच्चों की गाड़ी, बासीनेट and went to go get me a snack. The सेकंड he thought he was clear to leave the room; Prince started crying! He rushed to put some cheese doodles in a bowl and quickly passed it to me. He picked up Prince and tried to comfort him. Luckily he fell right back asleep but, I wasn’t going to let him relax द्वारा any means.
I कहा “daddy, I want to play light sabers with you!” He कहा “okay; go get them and we will!” I ran to my bedroom and grabbed them. As we were play fighting with the light sabers I decided it would be funny if I poked in the eye… So I did! He jumped back and asked “why would आप do that? That hurt really bad! I chuckled as he washed his eyes with a washcloth and he कहा sternly “it’s not funny Alanna, आप could have really hurt my eye!” I didn’t respond and he started to get irritated. He कहा “you need to at least say sorry to me!” I कहा “okay, okay, I’m sorry daddy!” He hugged me and कहा “it’s all right; just don’t do it again!”
March 18, 1997,
Dad was just arriving back to our hotel room after his संगीत कार्यक्रम and he was clearly exhausted. When he walked in the door Grace कहा “it has been a long दिन Michael!” He asked “let me guess, Alanna isn’t behaving for you?” She कहा “Yep” and picked up Prince. He कहा “I’ll go talk to her in her room!”
He walked down to my room and sat अगला to me on the edge of my bed. I कहा “hi daddy!” He asked “hi; how was your day?” He कहा “Grace told me आप weren’t listening to her at all!” I कहा “you कहा आप are the boss, not her… So I don’t have to listen to her!” He कहा “hey, you’ve got it all wrong! I am the boss but, when I’m not here she is in charge!” I कहा “she can’t make me listen to her!” He कहा “if I hear that आप are not listening to her and behaving, you’re going to be in trouble द्वारा me! He asked “why are आप not being good when I’m working!” I कहा “I just wish आप were here more, I miss the times when you’re at घर with us all day!” आप could hear the sadness in his voice when he कहा “I wish I could be here all the time but, I have to work!” I rested my head on his shoulder and asked “how much longer till we can go back घर and stay there?” He कहा “about a महीना and a half but, I promise आप after that I’m not touring for while!” I कहा “okay, I just want to go back home!” He कहा “I know; me too sweetheart!” He kissed me and कहा “I want आप to go apologize to Grace for not behaving today!” I walked up to her and gave her a hug. She asked “what was that for?” I कहा “I’m sorry for not being good and not listening to आप today!” She कहा shocked “well, thank आप for saying you’re sorry!”
March 20, 1997,
The phone rang and dad picked it up. He was getting ready to perform a संगीत कार्यक्रम in New Zealand and was wondering who could be calling him at this time. He कहा “hello!” Grace कहा “your daughter won’t go to sleep, I don’t know what else to do!” He कहा “you’ve got to be kidding me; it’s almost 10 o’clock at night! Have one of the bodyguards bring her down here and आप stay with Prince.” She कहा “okay; I’ll get her ready!” She had no idea what dad was up to but, she was so exhausted she was willing to try anything!
Grace कहा “get your jacket; आप are going to see daddy!” Dad’s bodyguard Joe picked me up and कहा “we will be back after the concert.” He took me out to the SUV and drove me to the संगीत कार्यक्रम arena. When we walked inside he took me back stage and कहा “wait here; I’m going to get your dad!” There was a mattress set up on the floor and a small TV with a remote. There was also a stack of VCR tapes near the TV. I was definitely wondering what was going on and wanted to know what was taking dad so long!
Dad opened the door to the room and he looked upset. He asked “why are आप not listening to Grace?” I didn’t have an answer for him and he made me feel guilty. He कहा “you’re going to sleep here and I’m going to take आप back to the hotel after the दिखाना is done! आप can watch the movie until आप fall asleep but, I expect आप to be asleep when I come back here for the intermission!” He put a तारा, स्टार Wars movie in the VCR and कहा “go to sleep… I mean it!” When he shut the door I could hear the screams of the प्रशंसकों and was still amazed द्वारा what he does! I want to do exactly what he does for a living when I grow up!
March 29, 1997,
Dad had Grace, Prince, and I go back घर to Neverland while he finishes his last week of concerts. Grace told me he would be back घर one week from today, so I’m just waiting for him to get here. It’s not the same not having him here. I’m not used to him not being around. There have been times when I call out dad’s name and then realize he’s not here!
I was up in my room playing and watching TV when I heard the front door shut. I didn’t pay much attention to it and continued to put my action figures into fighting poses. Grace yelled my name and कहा “come down here, I have a surprise for you!” I walked downstairs and कहा “yeah?” She stepped out of the way and dad was standing behind her. I ran to him and कहा “my daddy!” He smiled as he bent down to pick me up and I asked “are we going to stay here for a long time now?” He kissed the चोटी, शीर्ष of my head and कहा “yes, for a long time!”
After dad had gotten settled in at home, he went upstairs to check on me. He stood द्वारा my doorway staring at me trying to moonwalk. I didn’t notice he was watching me and he कहा “you’ll learn how to do that; it’s really hard trust me!” I कहा “daddy; I want to be a singer and dancer when I grow up!” He thought about it for 5 min. and कहा “you can do anything आप want to do when आप grow up but, promise me you’ll stay my little tomboy for as long as आप can!” I kissed him and कहा “I प्यार आप daddy, besides; I like being a kid right now!” He कहा “good” and smiled.
April 4, 1997,
I was playing outside and dad was watching me on the patio while he drank his iced tea. He got up from his chair and looked at something in the garage. He pulled a tarp off my bicycle and asked “do आप want me to take the training wheels off your bike for आप Alanna?” I कहा “I don’t know how to ride my bike without them on though!” He कहा “I’ll teach आप how after I take them off!” I was hesitant to say “okay” but I really wanted to have them taken off my bike. I was scared और than आप could imagine but, I tried not to let that दिखाना because normally I’m very ब्रेव and fearless!
I watched him take the training wheels off and hoped that something would go wrong so I wouldn’t have to ride my bike. After he had taken them off he कहा “alright; get on your bike!” I reluctantly got on to it and he pushed it to the middle of our long driveway. He कहा “the gates closed and I’m not going to let आप get hurt so, you’re safe!” As soon as I started pedaling I कहा “daddy I’m scared; don’t let go!” He कहा “don’t worry I won’t let anything happen to you!” He saw my hands shaking as they held on the handlebars!
I started to get the hang of steering the bike and dad had to run to keep a hold of me. I started to laugh because when I looked back at him his pants had fallen down because he wasn’t wearing a belt! He let go of me and I was able to keep control of the bike द्वारा myself. He blushed as he quickly hurried to pull up his pants because the Neverland staff was staring at his polka dotted boxers! I rode past him and कहा “nice underwear daddy!” He shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
April 8, 1997,
I was just arriving at Neverland after spending the weekend at my grandma and grandpa’s house. I walked in the doorway and grandma followed behind me. She looked at dad and कहा “she had fun!” They both laughed and grandma shut the door as she left.
At रात का खाना dad sat down अगला to me and कहा “did आप have fun when आप were with grandma this weekend?” I कहा “yeah but; I missed आप a lot daddy!” He kissed my cheek and कहा “I missed आप too AJ!” He took a bite of his खाना and I asked “daddy what does damn it mean?” I thought he was going to start choking when he heard me say that because his eyes widened like I had never seen before! He struggled to say while forcing down his खाना “where did आप hear that word?” I कहा “grandpa was really mad and he was screaming it at grandma.” The look on his face was something I’ll never forget. He turned bright red and whispered “I can’t believe he was yelling at her in front of you!”
He got up from the तालिका, टेबल and grabbed the phone off the counter. He कहा “Alanna, go to your room; okay!” He dialed grandma’s phone number and they talked:
Grandma: hello
Dad: hi mother; I need to talk to you!
Grandma: what’s wrong Michael?
Dad: why in the world was Joseph swearing and yelling in front of Alanna?
Grandma: I didn’t even know she was listening!
Dad: I’ll make it very clear to आप that I don’t want him screaming profanity at आप while my daughter is around, because of what he कहा she just asked me what damn it means! It’s nothing against आप mother but I don’t want AJ around that stuff!
He hung up the phone and went upstairs. He walked in to my room and sat अगला to me on the floor. I looked at him and he कहा “let’s talk about that word आप heard.” I asked “what does it mean?” He कहा “well; that is a bad word… Only some grown-ups can use those words. Kids aren’t supposed to say those words!” I कहा “okay; I won’t say that word anymore!” He कहा “it’s okay that आप कहा that word this time because आप didn’t know it was a bad word!”
May 21, 1997,
Dad was outside with me playing in the pool when he asked “do आप want me to teach आप how to swim without your life jacket?” I कहा “no, I’ll drown!” He कहा “you know I won’t let that happen AJ!” He took my life जैकेट off and कहा “don’t be scared!” He picked me up and placed me in the pool. I कहा “I’m going to drown!!!” He laughed and कहा “I am not going to let आप drown!!!” I walked up the steps and कहा “please don’t make me daddy!” He कहा “alright, but I hired a swim instructor to come tomorrow and teach you, so you’re not off the hook!!!”
July 17, 1997,
Dad was just walking in the door after finishing some last मिनट work to get all the money he earned on the history tour. He looked around the room and asked “what’s going on here?” Grace कहा “Alanna is driving me nuts!” He asked “what do आप mean? What is she doing?” She कहा “well; to start off with she was so loud I couldn’t get Prince to sleep!” He said: “I’ll go talk to her!” She rolled her eyes as he walked up the stairs.
He walked into my room and कहा “hi AJ.” I hugged him and कहा “I missed you!” He कहा “I’ve told आप so many times that आप need to be good when I’m not here and आप won’t listen!” I tried to say something and he cut me off. He कहा “since I’m now working for a while Grace is going to go on vacation and I’m going to stay here with आप and your brother. I’m not going to let आप get away with this stuff, आप will be in trouble… No not just standing in the corner!” I asked confused “what do आप mean? He कहा “I’m going to start taking your toys away and go to you’ll have to earn them back!” He sat down अगला to me on the floor and कहा “no matter what I’ll always प्यार आप though… You’re my first baby and I don’t want आप to grow up too fast!”
He stood up and grabbed one of my action figures out of my toy box. I asked “where are आप going with that?” He कहा “I told you, when आप don’t listen a toy gets taken away!” I looked at him shocked and couldn’t believe that he was actually following through with it!
July 20, 1997,
Dad walked through the front door and looked around for Grace, Prince and I. He went upstairs and could hear Grace say “we’re in here Michael!!!” He opened the door to the bathroom and Grace कहा “I know आप need to go AJ!!!” He asked “let me guess; potty training isn’t getting any better?” She कहा “listen; I need to go feed Prince….will आप stay here with her?” He sat down on the floor and कहा “of course!!!” She took Prince downstairs shutting the bathroom door behind her.
Dad asked “what’s up?” I कहा “I’m not going to go potty!!!” He कहा “we aren’t going anywhere until आप go….I’m getting tired of changing those diapers.” I कहा “I’m still not going to go!!!” He कहा “that’s too bad because I bought आप something at the toy store.” I got excited and asked “is it the Spiderman web shooter daddy?” He took it out of the bag he was holding and कहा “as a matter of fact it is!” I tried to grab it from him and he कहा “if आप use the potty आप can have this!!!” I कहा “but if I do I won’t be your baby anymore daddy.” He कहा “I don’t know where आप came up with that!!! It doesn’t matter if you’re 3 years old या 300 years old you’ll always be my baby!!!” I कहा “pinky promise?” He stuck out his pinky finger and कहा “pinky promise!” I looked at the toy and then looked at dad. He कहा “all आप have to do is…….” He heard the noise of something tricking and he gasped. I smiled and he कहा “GOOD JOB!!!”
A few मिनटों later we walked downstairs and Grace was still feeding Prince. I was carrying the web shooter and she asked “where did that come from?” Dad कहा “let’s just say I don’t think she’ll be giving आप a hard time when it comes to the bathroom!” She कहा “wait….she went? No way!!! But how in the world?” He laughed and कहा “don’t सवाल the king; just accept it!!!
July 28, 1997,
Yesterday dad took me shopping because he was able to have the manager closed the store for the day. When we were in the store I saw a toy that I really wanted but; dad told me that I couldn’t have it because he had just bought me a toy last week. I threw myself on the ground and had the worst temper tantrum that dad had ever seen. He had never seen me this mad in my life. He was really embarrassed द्वारा the way I was अभिनय and we ended up having to leave because I kept trying to hit him.
Today dad had a behavioral specialist/therapist come over to the ranch to see if there was और to the way I am acting. He knows that it can’t be me just being the typical three-year-old and wants to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. She told him that after evaluating me that she had diagnosed me with oppositional defiance disorder. That means that I don’t think about something before I do it and that most of the time I get so caught up in my attitude that I don’t remember what I had done wrong. She also told him that there is not much she can do to help the situation and that dad is going to have to be patient but also very strict; especially as I get older because it’ll probably only get worse! All I remember dad saying is that he is committed to helping me deal with this and keeping me out of trouble.
August 12, 1997,
One of the bodyguards let Debbie into the house and she heard me trying to argue my way out of doing something. She walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Dad कहा “you know it’s not okay to call people names!” He knelt down in front of me and कहा “all I’m asking आप to do is put your crayons back in their box so nobody steps on them.” I कहा “I don’t care about the crayons आप stupid head!” He picked me up and कहा “I told आप not to say that word anymore!” He put me in the corner of the living room and कहा “you stay here until I come get आप because आप weren’t being nice!”
He sat down on the सोफ़ा, सोफे अगला to Debbie and कहा “that’s her third timeout today and it’s not even noon.” She कहा “well; I have some good news to tell you!” He asked “what?” She कहा “I’m pregnant again!” He कहा “oh my gosh… I’m going to have three kids!” I walked up to dad and he asked “what are आप doing out of the corner?” I कहा “I have to go potty.” He कहा “okay; but आप have to promise me not to say stupid anymore because it’s not nice and it hurts my feelings!” I कहा “I’m sorry; I won’t say that anymore!” He कहा “that’s okay; I don’t want to hear आप say that word again!”
While I was in the upstairs bathroom dad and Debbie talked. Debbie कहा “I found out yesterday that I was pregnant!” Prince crawled up to dad and he picked him up. Dad looked at her and कहा “it’s so unreal; my first baby is pretty much not a baby anymore and my सेकंड baby is already seven months old!” Debbie looked at him as tears filled his eyes and she कहा “look at it positively… You’re going to get to have a newborn that is totally dependent on आप again!” He कहा as he rubbed his eyes “it’s not that!” She asked “what’s wrong then?” He कहा “it hit me yesterday that Alanna isn’t a baby anymore! She hardly ever asks me for help; it’s been like that all week long! It went from her saying daddy I can’t do it द्वारा myself to daddy leave me alone!” He got up and कहा “I know she’s only three but; it hard to let my baby go!”
Debbie hugged him and कहा “she going to grow up to do bigger and better things than the little milestones she’s reaching now! I know it’s hard but आप have to let it happen!” I came downstairs and walked up to dad. He knelt down and I hugged him. I whispered something in his ear and he कहा “I’ll help you.” Debbie कहा “I’ve got to head out now; I’ll call आप when I have my first ultrasound in a couple weeks so आप can come.” He kissed her on the cheek and कहा “alright; I’ll see आप then.”
September 9, 1997,
Dad was just getting back to the ranch because he had gone shopping to get some क्रिस्मस gifts. He walked into the living room and Grace कहा “listen; I can’t watch AJ anymore!” He looked irritated and asked “what; why?” She कहा “because she will not listen to me! She thinks it’s funny when she doesn’t do what I ask her to do!” Dad कहा “I don’t know what else आप want me to do; आप know she has oppositional defiance disorder!” Grace कहा “I know she doesn’t really mean to be so disobedient but; I just can’t deal with her and Prince with Debbie having another baby soon on चोटी, शीर्ष of that!” He कहा “I’ll make a deal with you; if I can get your to at least somewhat behave for आप when I’m not here will आप watch her again?” She कहा “I don’t see how आप going to do that but; if आप can pull it off और power to you!” He कहा “I don’t plan on going out on any big trips for it while so I won’t let her get away with being disrespectful to you!”
I came downstairs and dad gave me a look that I will probably never forget. I knew that in some way, shape या form that I had done something wrong! He picked me up and put me on the couch. He sat down अगला to me and कहा “I know that आप haven’t been behaving for Grace and I told आप that I’m not going to let आप act like this!” I कहा “but daddy; I didn’t mean to!” He कहा “I don’t want to hear it; just remember I’m here all दिन now so I hear and see everything that goes on in this house!”
He went upstairs and came back down carrying the pieces that go on चोटी, शीर्ष of my train table. He opened up the closet door and put them on the चोटी, शीर्ष shelf. I कहा “no daddy; I प्यार my Thomas the trains!” He knelt down in front of me and कहा “you’ll think twice अगला time before आप decide not to listen to Grace; won’t you?” I stomped my feet and he calmly कहा “that’s enough!” Grace कहा “welcome to my world Michael; this is what I deal with every day.” I tossed a couple of video tapes across the room and he कहा “I कहा that’s enough!” I looked at him as I reach for another tape to see if he would do anything and he asked “do आप want to watch TV in your room tonight?” I कहा mad “yes!” He कहा “you better not throw that because आप won’t be allowed to watch फिल्में tonight!” I put the tape down and he कहा “thank you; it’s time for bed!”
I walked up to dad and hugged him. He picked me up and asked “do आप want to watch कार्टून on डिज़्नी Junior या watch a movie?” I कहा “I want to watch Scooby Doo!” He कहा “okay; go get your pajamas on and wait for me to get your toothbrush ready!” He put me down and for the first time in a long time I did what I was told.
December 25, 1997,
I woke up and walked down the hallway. I climbed onto dad’s बिस्तर and jumped on him. He opened his eyes and कहा “merry Christmas!!!” I कहा “merry Christmas” and jumped on him again. He कहा “okay; I’m going to get up.” He picked me up and कहा “we can’t go downstairs until Prince is awake.” He carried me into Prince’s room and put me down. Prince was standing up in his पालना with his hair sticking out in all directions. Dad picked him up and grabbed me with his other arm.
Dad carried Prince and I down the steps and I could see the क्रिस्मस tree. He took us into the living room and put of us down. There were presents stacked all over the room and something with a blanket over the चोटी, शीर्ष of it. Dad asked “what’s under that blanket over there?” I walked up to it and there was a piece of paper taped to the blanket. I pulled it off and brought it over to dad. He कहा “it looks like a letter from Santa Claus!” Now that I’m much older; I know that Santa Claus isn’t real, but dad tried to keep the magic alive for as long as possible while I was growing up.
He opened the letter and read it out loud. He कहा “I hope आप like your क्रिस्मस presents and I know आप tried really hard to be good this year. You’ve grown so much since the last time I left presents under your पेड़ and I’ve been watching आप from the North Pole. I do think that आप need to try harder at being a better listener. Every time आप don’t listen to daddy आप हटाइए closer to the naughty list. I’ll be back to see आप and your brother अगला year. I can’t wait to see if the new baby is going to be a boy या a girl!”
Dad कहा “see Santa knows everything; so आप better be good!” I had a worried look on my face and कहा “I will try harder!” I pulled the blanket off and underneath was the Jeep that I had been asking for all year! I got in and was about to put the key in when dad कहा “yeah; that’s और of an outside toy!” I went over to a tall stack of presents and he कहा “after we open all your gifts आप can play with your Jeep.”
After about eight hours of slowly opening each gift, grandma showed up. I was upstairs changing out of my pajamas because I had been wearing them all day. I came back downstairs wearing a pair of jeans and my new red तारा, स्टार Wars long-sleeved स्वेट-शर्ट, स्वेटरशर्ट, sweatshirt with Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 printed on the front. I walked into the रसोई, रसोईघर where dad was talking to grandma and I sat down at the table. She कहा “you know Joseph really want to come here with me. I don’t understand why आप don’t want him here!” He कहा “now that Alanna is in the room I think we should stop this discussion!” She कहा “you know I want to be here but; I’m going to go back to the house because I don’t him to have to be alone!”
Dad rolled his eyes as she shut the door and left without even getting to say hi to me. He came over with a few plates of खाना and sat down अगला to me. As he was cutting my खाना for me I कहा “thank आप for all my presents!” He कहा “you’re welcome sweetheart.” He looked around the room at all of my new toys sprawled out on the floor and कहा “look at all these toys!!!” I कहा “I got so much Spiderman, Thomas the train, and Scooby Doo stuff!!!” He कहा “I think आप got और तारा, स्टार Wars stuff than anything else. I can’t believe आप got six different pairs of तारा, स्टार Wars pajamas!!!”
