Proud Mum Moment
K* is taking her mock GCSE's this week, one of yesterday's was drama. They had to write and perform a monologue, the monologue was written before the exam so the lighting and props could be sorted out too. I was impressed with the monologue and she has permitted me to share it- although she doesn't think it's very good.
Lighting was a blue/green spot. Props: a single red balloon on a red ribbon.
Edit: it seems I got the lighting wrong- it was a centre spot with blue green lights around it- Bad Mum no Bikkit
It's my birthday today. That's why I'm here instead of wondering around. I wanted to se my Mummy and Daddy.
Look at them. They aren't even celebrating. They aren't having fun. Birthdays are *supposed* to be fun. But Mummy's all upset and Daddy tries not to cry in front of Mummy, like he is embarrassed. When he's on his own he cries like she does.
They used to talk to me-tell me things. Little things that happened on the news;that Kerry down the road had got a new red tricycle. I wanted a red tricycle so much. Daddy said that I cold have one when I woke up, but the Doctor said I might never wake up. I'm scared. I want Mummy to tell me it will all be OK, but she doesn't say anything any more. I can't hear them anyway. It's like they turned the sound off on the telly or something.
It *is* nice here though. It's quiet and nobody ever shouts. But there aren't many children here. I don't have anyone to play with. No one to be my friend. One of the told me that what the Doctor said was true, and that if I stay here too long I won't be able to go back, no matter how much I want to. I *do* want to. I want Mummy to look after me and tell me that she loves me, and Daddy to play with me and tell me stories before bed.
I'm going to stay here for now. Keep watching them for as long as I can. I don't want to leave them.
I wish I could speak to them.
I wish they could hear me.
