there are certain things she doesn't want to talk about with anyone.

she said she doesn't like watching tv. her sister watches it all the time, for three days in a row, she said. she'd rather do things instead of just sitting there. i asked her what she does instead. she plays teacher with made up people. she teaches them to read and do maths. she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. that's a good thing to be, i told her real respectable and purposeful. sincere kids can make everything seem ok for a moment. it's a kind of hope.

life doesn't mean anything.
