Quote preview background for Kaui Hart Hemmings
I hope she can__ tell that I__ appraising her and that I__ completely worried by what I see. She__ excitable and strange. She__ ten. What do people do during the day when they__e ten? She runs her fingers along the window and mumbles, __his could give me bird flu,_ and then she forms a circle around her mouth with her hand and makes trumpet noises. She__ nuts. Who knows what__ going on in that head of hers, and speaking of her head, she most definitely could use a haircut or a brushing. There are small tumbleweeds of hair resting on the top of her head. Where does she get haircuts? I wonder. Has she ever had one before? She scratches her scalp, then looks at her nails. She wears a shirt that says I__ NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL. BUT I CAN BE! I__ grateful that she isn__ too pretty, but I realize this could change.

I remembered what Dad said once, that some people have all of life's answers worked out the day they're born and there's no use trying to teach them anything new. 'They're closed for business even though, somewhat confusingly, their doors open at eleven, Monday through Friday,' Dad said. And the trying to change what they think, the attempt to explain, the hope they'll come to see your side of things, it was exhausting, because it never made a dent and afterward you only ached unbearably.
