"Daddy!" I ran into Dad's office, my toddling feet thudding against the wood floor. A paper airplane in my hand.
"Daddy, look at my paper airplane!" I yelled, pulling one of my baby teeth.
"That's nice darling." Dad said, his hands slamming against the keyboard of the computer.
"Look at what it can do" I yelled, trying to leap onto the study table, "It can fly all the way to the ceiling."
"GET DOWN THIS INSTANT!" Dad yelled.
"But-" I murmured, tears coming to my eyes.
"GET OUT! I'M BUSY." Dad shouted, pushing me out the door.
Tears came to my eyes. "But daddy, this plane is extraordinary!" I sobbed, covering my face. My hands started to shake.

"Yeah" I responded.
"That's so lame."
Tears were coming to my eyes and my hands started to shake.

The librarian asked me to come over to the local library.
There was a ladder perched against the bookshelf.
"Here's some books to stack."
"Do I climb on the ladder?" I ask.
"Yeah, go ahead."
"Will you tell me to get down?"
"No, why would I?"
"Nevermind"

Dad leans against the wall watching me write on the whiteboard.

"Yeonjun as CEO?" Father yells.
His hand is raised about to clench Yeonjun's jaw.
"I Believe that he will be a fine CEO . Thank you!" Mother says in defence.
"Let go of my brother!" I say angrily, yanking Yeonjun, as his back slams into my front.
