Can You Hear Me?
Hey! Mommy! Mommy!
Are you my Mommy?
Let's Play! Let's play!
Let's play all day!
Hey! Hey! What are you doing?
Is he my Daddy? Or him?
Or what about him?
Wow! I have lots of Daddy's!
May I come in the room with you?
I feel like a stray!
Ouch! That hurt! My poor nose!
You slammed the door so hard!
Here I am crawling
and nowhere to go
Yes! The door is open!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Can you hear me?
Why are you shaking?
Are you hurt?
I fell asleep and in the morning
I cried
You weren't there
I was left with a baby brother to care
Wait! Wait!
Where did you go?
You can't leave me
I'm three years old!
Don't you remember?
You have a baby right here in front of me!
What am I supposed to do?
Leave him in a crib & let him cry?
I think that's what I'm supposed to do.
How would I know!
I'm only three!
And what am I supposed to do about me??!
Hey! You! Baby! Can you help me?
Hug me! Love me? Do what I say?
Hey! Why won't you help me little baby??!!
Why are you crying?
Should I hit you, or choke you, or give you away?
Oh well. Just call me Mommy.
It'll be fun! We can play!
