Some people say that my first parents shook me until my
eyeballs got loosened up, or they left me alone, or they gave
me away, or they just ran away. I guess you think, because of
that, I am supposed to not miss them? (Because if I did it
would sure make me lots more cooperative with all the plans
you keep making for me.) Should I just say, "They did the
best they could" so I am not so ticked off and lonely and
worried all the time about what the Big People are going to
do next? The truth is, I can't do any of these things: I can't
forget. (Even when my brain does, my body won't.) I can't
stop myself from yearning (even though later I will get quite
good at playing games about this).
