'I stepped outside. Father was standing in the corridor. He held up his right hand and spread his fingers out in a fan. I held up my left hand and spread my fingers out in a fan and we made our fingers and thumbs touch each other. We do this because sometimes Father wants to give me a hug, but I don't like hugging people, so we do this instead, and it means that he loves me.' (p.21)

'And this is because when people tell you what to do it is usually confusing and does not make sense. For example, people often say 'Be quiet,' but they don't tell you how long to be quiet for. Or you see a sign which says KEEP OFF THE GRASS but it should say KEEP OFF THE GRASS AROUND THIS SIGN or KEEP OFF THE GRASS IN THIS PARK because there is lots of grass you are allowed to walk on.' (p.38)

'All the children at my school are stupid. Except I'm not meant to call then stupid, even though this is what they are. I'm meant to say that they have learning difficulties or that they have special needs. But this is stupid because everyone has learning difficulties because learning to speak French or understanding Relativity is difficult, and also everyone has special needs, like Father who has to carry a little packet of artificial sweetening tablets around with him to put in his coffee to stop him getting fat, or Mrs Peters who wears a beige-coloured hearing aid, or Siobhan who has glasses so thick that they give you a headache if you borrow them, and none of these people are Special Needs, even if they have special needs.' (p.56)

'People say that you always have to tell the truth. But they do not mean this because you are not allowed to tell old people that they are old and you are not allowed to tell people if they smell funny or if a grown-up has made a fart. And you are not allowed to say, 'I don't like you,' unless that person has been horrible to you.' (p.60)

I kow what you mean about not caring when you are depressed. There wasa time when I wore a black turtleneck every day for 3 weeks... Gross huh? It was like Esther Greenwoods depression in the "Bell Jar", when she didnt shower and didnt put makeup on. Everything was too much... the effort was too high...

When I look back, I am really sad, that I felt like this, but you cant do anything against it, when you are depressed. You are just in his goddamn hole and you cant climb out.

Thanks for your long comment.
