Mummy why are you crying?
Daddy why are you shouting?
daddy why are you practising your boxing on mummy??
isn’t that dangerous daddy?
Mummy why have you got tomato ketchup on your body?
Daddy why are you laughing at mummy?
shouldn’t you be comforting her because she fell down the stairs?
Mummy why are you in the kitchen all alone?
And how come you haven’t wiped the tomato sauce of your body?
Daddy what are you drinking?
It smells strong-that’s what you always smell of.
Why are you shouting at mummy again?
Daddy are you going out?
Aren’t you going to say goodbye to me and mummy?
And aren’t you going to help her clean the ketchup off her?
Mummy are you feeling ill?
Because you’ve gone all white and shaky.
Mummy what is court?
And why are there dark marks on your skin?
How come daddy hasn’t been home since the night you were crying?
Will I see daddy again?
Will you?
I love you mummy.
