dad, don't you understand that i have to grow? grow like those aglaonemas you adore so much. don't you understand that i have to learn to stand tall alone? i understand if you don't want me to experience any harm, but please, i have to be trained to face the reality. i have to be drilled to survive the journey. i don't want to play just in a safe area. don't you think i will obey your command as if there is no underground. if you don't want to train me, i will have myself trained in other ways.
