I know you are mad at me, mommy, but I didn’t think you were this mad.
My class ended five minutes ago, why aren’t you here?
I’m sorry for everything I have done, please don’t leave me here.
If you come get me, take me home, I will do anything for you.

Six minutes now, where are you at?
Every car that drives by looks like yours, but it never is.
My teacher says to call, but you don’t answer.
They say that you have left already.

Why are you so mad that you would leave me here?
Where am I going to sleep tonight?

Nine minutes late mommy, where are you?
I can’t sleep in the school, I will smell in the morning.
Oh god. Why would you leave me here?
I’m really sorry mommy.

Finally you come to get me
I come running.

“I’m sorry mommy, please don’t leave me here!”
“Honey, I was only ten minutes late.
Come on, lets go home.”
