It was difficult falling asleep that night, thinking things like,
``why do these things always happen only to me? I must be an adopted
child. Yes, that must be why.''
:05:17
And so I sobbed in my futon bed.
:05:21
Was that the first time you were slapped by your dad?
:05:24
Uh-huh. The first and last time. Only once.
:05:29
Hmmm....in my case though, sometimes, but not TOO often, it happens a
lot.
:05:36
``Sometimes'' might be better than once, I think. If it's only the one
time, then you'll wonder why that time in particular.
:05:46
But I can't believe Taeko 'ne-chan was so selfish as a kid.
:05:53
Oh, I was selfish. So onion wasn't the only thing I didn't like.
:06:00
Oh---what's with me, I feel over-privileged now.
:06:05
Oh--what a fix, what a fix!
:06:21
I'm going to give up the Puma shoes.
:06:23
Way to go! Then...you might expect a handsome allowance from me.
:06:30
I getcha.
:06:59
Hey....!
