Why Can't They...

Colt - 1

I wake up to Auntie opening the curtains. It hurts my eyes and my wings move around, now I'm cold. I wish it would be more warm, but I live in the clouds.

Unkie has breakfast done. It smells good in the house. I have to go to the bathroom.

I ask Auntie, but Auntie doesn't speak my words. I have to move careful, or the floor jumps at me and hurts me. I need help.

I ask Auntie, but Auntie doesn't speak my words. I make the noise Auntie knows and Auntie's face gets sad. Auntie helps me to walk to the bathroom and Auntie helps me.

I almost didn't make it, but I did. Auntie was happy. Auntie helped clean me back there and help to wash my hooves.

I didn't get them messy, but Auntie said 'it is a good habit to keep'. I don't know what a habit is. But if it is good, and makes Auntie happy, I will do it.

Auntie helps me a lot. I really like her.

Unkie is very happy to see me in the food room. We eat on a cloud table and it is very hard, like the floor. It hurts if I fall on it when I am sitting down. Auntie had to shorten the table and make the big, sit, things go away. They're in the walls now. Auntie wasn't happy Unkie was making loud noises at her when Auntie did it.

I have a plate. It is made from not clouds. It is hard and loud when I pushed it to the cloud floor. Unkie said it was 'spensive magic plate. Now I have hard plates that fall through the clouds and go away forever.

My food smells good. Sweet and yummy. "Auuggmmmnng."

They look at me when I say it looks good in my words. Yum! It tastes good too. Crunchy.

I want a drink.

I WANT A DRINK!

Why won't they give me a drink? I will make a loud noise, they listen when I do that.

Now they are moving to me and talking words fast. They aren't giving me a drink. I will point to it, but I don't move my legs and wings so good, I will point with all of them! That is smart.

Ouch. Unkie is holding me tight. All I want is a drink with my breakfast of yummy crunchy stuff. They are making loud noise and words at me and each other.

I will make louder noise for my drink. I'm getting sad and mad. Why are they being this way and not helping me to drink?

Water? Juice? Soup water? Anything? Unkie, Auntie, please? My mind hurts from this, let me go.

You're scaring me, all I wanted was a drink, I'm sorry. Let me go. I will make a loudest noise so you listen!

...Auntie? Come back! Unkie will let me go and you can help me get a drink for my food. You won't listen because you don't speak my words, so I will make the noise you know.

Please, come back. Unkie, let me go or I will bite you. You let me go when I bite you, and I will.

"Ha!" You let me go when I bite because you don't know my words, but you know my bites. I will get Auntie and Auntie will-

Let me go! Let me go! Unkie, let me go. I want to get to Auntie. Auntie is crying, Auntie needs nuzzles. Then Auntie will get me a drink for my food, because my food is really good, but I am thirsty.

I will bite again. Again. Why won't you let go. I'm so frustrated with you. I will make a loudest noise ever.

... My body is tired. I can not get Unkie off me. Unkie is bigger and I am smaller. Unkie holds me tight and hurts my wings, but my heart is sad now. I could not help Auntie stop crying again. I don't like the red stuff taste when I bite Unkie. It makes Unkie mad and loud when Unkie lets me go. Unkie points to red on his white fur spot and makes loud noises and I am scared.

Why am I looking at the wall? There isn't anything here. Just white and blue a little. I see colors sometimes, a lot of colors in the cloud wall. They are all the colors. But they go away and I look at the white wall and feel sad. The colors left me like Mom and Dad. But, the colors come back sometimes and don't make loud noises at me.

OH MY HAPPY FEELINGS! My carts! Thank you Unkie! I will play with my carts, they are so much fun.

In the carts are my carts riders. They are moving the carts to places to shop and meet their mommy and daddy.

I like my carts. They are my best friends and make me happy. I make them happy too. Soon I will go in a cart to see my mommy and daddy and they will nuzzle me and not be loud, like last time.
