“Daddy, please. Please don’t let Lanie leave me, too. I promise. I promise I’ll be better. I won’t bother her as much. I’ll pick up all my toys. The girls’ toys, too. I’ll be quieter. I won’t give her headaches. Tell her. Please tell her I’ll do anything. Don’t let her leave because I’m so bad. I’ll be better. I won’t cause her this trouble anymore, please, Daddy, please.”
