A game. OK. Great. But not dolls.

But here I am, scrubbing away at what

Honestly, youre not even back for a day

and youre behaving like a five-year-old.

Mother, do you remember when I was little

I had this friend? He was make-believe.

No.

Dont you remember I was

the only one who could see him?

No, I dont remember Drop Dead Fred at all.

Morning.

So whos for snot flicking?

I hid all night in the stupid garden shed

and you didnt even bother coming to look for me.

Oh, my God.

Is it? It is.

The megabitch. Let me at her!

- Get me an axe.

No, get me a chainsaw.

Im going to slice her into tiny pieces.
