  If

  what	
  
      happened	
  you	
  just	
  let

      says.	
  
That’s	
  what	
  Mrs.	
  Brook	
  is	
  for,	
  I	
  tell	
  her.	
  
Maybe	
  we	
  could	
  all	
  sit	
  down	
  together.	
  
Why?	
  
So	
  we	
  know	
  where	
  you’re	
  coming	
  from.	
  	
  
I	
  look	
  around	
  the	
  living

  I	
  come	
  from	
  here.	
  
I’m	
  sorry.	
  	
  I	
  meant	
  so	
  we	
  all	
  know	
  how	
  you’re	
  
      feeling.	
  
Oh.	
  	
  Mrs.	
  Brook	
  know	
  how	
  I’m	
  feeling	
  so	
  you	
  can	
  
      find	
  out	
  from	
  her.	
  I	
  would	
  be	
  superfluous.	
  	
  My	
  
      DicJonary	
  says	
  suPERfluous	
  means	
  exceeing	
  
      what	
  is	
  sufficient	
  or	
  necessary.	
  
I	
  just	
  thought	
  it	
  would

  SuPERfluous	
  also	
  means	
  
      marked

Well…okay	
  then,
