Nobody listens to a thing you say.
Mama says you’ve been bad today.
This summer, your parents say that you’ll be doing more around the house.
The other day, while playing outside, you spent 10 minutes watching ants.
You’re a kid who knows right from wrong.
This time of year, and it’s hard to sit still while you’re in school.
Every night, just before bedtime, someone who’s really special reads to you from a book of your choosing.
It was just about the coolest thing you’d ever seen.

You’ve been practicing your autograph.
From the first moment you saw him, you knew he was The One.
