There is a reason that the “terrible two’s” are known to most anyone who has ever taken care of a child. At this point‚ most children can walk‚ talk‚ and use their senses.

Her husband Tom was not even there for the birth of their only daughter. “Well‚ she was less than an hour old and Tom was God knows where. I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned

It might not appear so if someone observed me‚ but I’m rarely bored. I don’t mind isolation. Especially in this day and age‚ when people bore easily‚ even with all the technology at their disposal‚ there doesn’t seem to be a problem entertaining myself. This phenomenon can best be explained by my upbringing as an only child.
