I want to know I wanna know I wannanow! I wannanooooo!” “Ok, ok, stop, OW! Stop waving your fists around!” “My friend said his parents told him but that he couldn’t tell me because I’m too small.” “You know it’s not nice to hit people. Settle your little fists down.” “Ok.” “Quit jumping around too, if you want me to tell you, you have to settle down. Here sit on this ledge, careful now. No! Don’t jump on it, here,...
