7.29

If I were more like that lost puppy, could I get some attention from you, dad? I know we only kept it for a week but you fed it and washed it and taught it to fetch. In a week, you gave more to that dog than you gave to me.

If you need me to, I'll put on a fur coat. Would that work, dad? Would it?

  2. Yeah, they cling on to you like you're some kind of endless well of love.
