And now, Claudia. Claudia. Claudia, why are you so fidgety? Who's fidgety? You are fidgety. Am I? I hadn't noticed me. You've been walking up and down this room like a lion in a cage. Have I?
I love you. We're on the verge of biting your fingernails. I've never bite my fingernails. Exactly. So far you haven't gotten beyond the verge. What are you expecting out of that window? I'm not expecting anybody out of this window, especially.
Then you are expecting something. say that. Oh right have it your way if you want to be secretive I'm not curious. Mama what time is it? Just five minutes later than it was five minutes ago. Now that's a nice to the point answer.
What time is it now? 25 minutes of seven and all is well. That's what you think. It'll be time for dinner pretty soon. Why don't you go up and wash? Oh we're not having dinner until later.
Since when? And how much later? Oh, I thought we'd eat around a quarter of eight tonight. That's interesting. Why the change? Mommy, you're prying. I'm not prying. I'm bursting. I know there's a secret around here someplace.
And if I don't find it out soon... As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind having somebody to talk to. Here I am. Ha ha ha. You're fine when you're always telling me I'm nosy.
Look at you, your nose is as long as the handle of a broom. I don't see why I have to be insulted in the bargain, but if you want to carry around your secret, grow old before your day, get wrinkles around your eyes, pace up and down this room until I'm dizzy, so be it.
