Because of Me Written by Park Hyeon-ju
the children cried.
Because Mom kicked me out.
I was kicked out because Dad hurt his foot.
Dad hurt his foot because I suddenly jumped up.
We were so startled. Because Mom and Dad were fighting.
Mom said she had too much to do. She yelled at Dad asking why couldn’t he play with the kids a little bit.
Dad said he was tired. He yelled angrily for Mom to quiet the kids.
1
The reason why Mom and Dad fought
was because we kept calling them.
We woke up Dad, who was tired. 2 And bothered Mom, who was busy.
Because we wanted to show them.
The things we liked.
We thought Mom and Dad would like them, too. That the flower had bloomed. The buds had burst.
