Some of Their Themes in Those Days

“We had you, but it was with doubts and then, misgivings.”

“We cannot easily afford you, and we also know you are scheming to get our money.”

“You are perfect.”

“We do not believe you can be competent.”

“You are the most intelligent person in the world.”

“We love you because we have to, but we do not like you at all.”

“Play the piano and try to look pretty; then, with luck, some man will step up to take care of you. Otherwise, the way you are, you will be out on the street.”

“I love you so much. All I ever wanted was you.”

“If you think this is cruel, just wait to see what I could do to really make you cry. In the Congo they chop children right to pieces.”

“We know you very well.”

Axé.
