It Happened When I Was Nine By Wendy Amador Stay in your car Smoke a cigar, play some guitar, it doesn’t matter what you do, but stay in your car. Don’t open that door. Please, just stay in your car.

If they come to your house, ask them who they are. It doesn’t matter if they’re scary, keep that piece of cheap redwood between your ear and the avatar. Don’t speak English? Ask your daughter to translate the warrant. I must repeat myself, don’t open that door.

Check the signature on the page, your name, the address If they ask questions, don’t say yes. Ask for a lawyer.
