Dogs, crowds, and tupperwares

The dog, it's barking. Whoa whoa whoa! 

Do you like my imitation of it?

I like the fur it has. What colour is this?

I want to hug ghou ghou. Come here, ghou ghou.

What? Don't tell me it's a wild dog.

How could something so beautiful be "wild"? Ghou ghou! Ghou ghou!

Can't you see? It's got a soul.

See how ghou ghou looks at me, Mama. 

I want to be home. Home for ghou ghou. 


I want to go home. I'm scared.

So many people here. I'm going to cry.

Mama go away. Don't tell me what to do!

I'm a big girl. I can walk now. Heck, I can run. Away from you. 

Hate you. Hit you, kick, fill the air with my screams. Argh! 

Let me go. I don't want you. But I want you! Don't go. I want booboo.

I'm sleepy.  I shall sleep in your arms. 

I'm home. 


So many colours in the grocery store. So many types of shades.

So many bottles with liquids. What are they? 

I want to hold, I want to touch, I want to taste.

I run and run, and big people tower over me, look at me, wave, laugh. 

I don't care about the gazes of others. I want my mother's. Just look at me Mama.

Look at me look at me look at me. I can lift big tupperwares. 

I'm so strong! I'm invincible. 

But Mama? Mama? Where are you? Mama!

Oh, here you are. Holding a loaf of bread. Telling me something about it. 

You're here. You're here. You're here.

Now will you please, just, look at me hold some tupperwares.
