Maria’s packing:
pp1-3
Maria, didn’t say anything to me, she j
ust pointed. Why do adults do that
anyway – why is it acceptable for
them to do that, but we need to look
adults in the eyes and speak calmly.
My eyes followed the direction Maria
was pointing. She was pointing at
mother. What does Maria packing
my things, have to do with mother? I
am going to find out….
