Was his experience isolated to his neighborhood or is it widespread ? Being here only 4 times a year for a week at a time doesn't give me a true sense.




OH for Heavens sake. I didn't know you were here only for four weeks outa the entire year! You are having separation anxiety and jealous longings for the Koolaid gang. I won't be mean to you any more. Why don't you get your self down here and giggle and smile and dance with all of us year 'round? Are you just finishing college because you are 22?
