Aunt Linda sighed. "That could be a bit trying."
"It's more than a bit o, believe me! She doesn't trust me at all, I protested."
"Hmm," she said. "Are you a trust worthy daughter?"
"Most of the time."
"Are you sure."
"But, nobody's perfect," I pointed out. "I know I've done something bad before, I know, but now I've changed. People make mistakes you know."
"Oh, you can make mistakes in some things, can't you? Break plates, burn food, and burn some of her work clothes, whilst ironing----"
"But am I not allowed to make mistakes about food, things like that," I said.
"Well, all that is important. You need to understand that it's not easy for your mom, to provide all these basic things , only for you to destroy them, she cried, it's heart breaking."
"Ive learned my lesson," I said apologetically. Why won't she just let me go , just this once, I need to be exposed, I need freedom!"
"It's going to take a while," Aunt Linda said. "You'd have to get your mom readjusted. And besides, it's not only about that sef, whatever she does now is for your own good, a time will come when you'd be allowed to go out, have fun and mingle. So, just be calm okay, it'd get better soon enough." She commented.
"I'm tired o!" I burst out. "It's never going to get any better! She'll never let me go anywhere! I mean I'm old enough to take care of myself! I feel like running away sef!"
