wouldn't it be great if it were all a mistake? it wasnt my mom, it wasn't his dad, and everyone was just they're usual glad. there wasn't a heart attack, there wasn't a collision, and both our real parents were still here watching us learn divison.

But i guess things happen that take us by suprise, things that make us open our eyes. And we have to make the best with what we're given and just be glad we're not in a prison. Be happy with the things that come your way and know that things can change any day.
