I Think I Heard My Name
It was awful, it was terrible, it was the most dis-dasdardly-mean thing I have ever heard, and
I think they were talking about me.
What did they say?
I do not know but Ro’s mom told Bill’s dad, and my Aunt Marma was irritated.
Who is Ro?
My cousin Lou’s uncle’s neighbor.
Who is Bill?
I am not sure.
And this hurt you how?
It makes me mad because I could tell it was me when my Aunt Marma looked at me.
And it was the most dis-dasdardly thing you had ever heard?
Right.
And what was it exactly that you heard?
I do not know. They were whispering.
And you did not really hear anything?
No, but they looked at me, and I think I heard my name. Or my dog’s name. I don’t know.
Do you want to keep talking about it or play with playdough?
Play dough please.
