Mommy, Daddy... I'm Sorry!

Mommy, Daddy. . . I'm sorry! I don't know what I did, but it must have been something bad. This time Mommy took the rolling pin to my head. I'm sorry that I made you angry Mommy, just please stop hitting me with the rolling pin. You hit me in the mouth Mommy, and you knocked out my new tooth! Maybe the tooth fairy will come tonight. Mommy stopped hitting me, she sits back down at the kitchen table, and refills her glass with Vodka. I try to sit up, but my head is pounding and I don't feel so well. But I know I'm not in trouble any more. She gets up again, and I think she's going to help me get up. But instead she throws a towel at me and points to my small pool of blood from my broken tooth and nose. Well I must have deserved it. Mommy, Daddy. . . I'm sorry! I don't know what I did, but it must have been something bad. Because you hit me and it didn't stop until I was no longer awake. I think I died for alittle while Mommy, I couldn't hear screaming, or feel Daddy hitting me with his book. When I wake up it's as if I had never done that terrible thing! Mommy cooks Daddy pancakes and Daddy is reading the News paper. I hurt alittle bit, my head hurts and my arm is bruised, and I have a cut on my lip, but Mommy and Daddy are happy, so am I. Mommy, Daddy. . . I'm sorry! I don't know what I did, but it must have been something bad. This time I'm not going to be getting up to clean up my blood. Or pick up the broken lamp. Mommy and Daddy, you killed me. I didn't know it , but I had never done anything wrong. Why did you take your angers out on me? You never knew but I always loved you. I never knew anybetter. You didn't care about me. I was just in your way. In the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sorry Mommy and Daddy, sorry that you had to resort to my violent end. As I lay on the floor crumpled and bleeding you are in your drunkin shock, uncomprehending what you have done. I'm sorry.
