It was followed by “you let me down,” “shut up,” “then stay here, all by yourself,” “behave, and dad and mom will like you,” “don’t ever think I will help you,” “what’s all the crying about?” “why do you have to be different from the others?” “can’t you just be more careful?” and “hurry up, I am going to count to three.” [FULL STORY]
