Hi

I’m staying at my Dads place until my Mom is coming back from Paris. 

He never wants to play with me and he screams at me a lot. Sometimes I wonder if he doesn’t like me. 

I think my Dad is poor because my Mom has a way bigger apartment than he has. And this morning he didn’t even had milk for my cereals. 

You said when people love each other they make babies. My Dad and his girlfriend don’t want to make babies. I think they don’t love each other. And I heard them talking last night and I heard that my Dad is an alcoholic. I think he is sad.

We´ll talk at school. See you tomorrow. 

Sam
