Today they beat me. I didn’t want to write that earlier, but I’m doing it now – see, I’m writing it now. I don’t know who. One of the “Grownups.” I don’t even know who hit me, I had my back turned. Although it’s not polite to stand with your back turned, I know. Even so, I was standing with my back turned to teach them a lesson. To teach the Grownups a lesson. They can’t just hit me like that, without any explanation. I need lots of explanations and, if I get explanations, maybe I won’t even write any more...
