The Worst Child
He is the worst child. Just watch.
He was fine, until he heard that. Then he had to live up to it.
He was amazing, throwing, tearing, stomping, screaming.
Proving his adult right.
I find it ridiculously sad that she is his mother, the only adult in his home
And he is three. “DON’T RUN!” she yelled, and he is gone.
By the time he is five, he may be ruined by this kind of love.
