“When you go in, throw yourself on the floor and scream as loud as you can, got it?“If no one leaves, spit in their food. Shove their heads down into their soup. That’ll make them so uncomfortable they will have no choice but to leave.“If that still doesn’t work, flip the table. Send the food flying everywhere. With everything on the floor, they’ll have no choice but to go.”My father and mother, Jack Bennet and Susan Bennet, were calmly teaching me how to be the worst kid in the restaurant so I could drive the other customers out.That way, we would not have to wait for a table. We could just walk right in and eat.However, each time I did as I had been told, I was the one who got beaten and yelled at. I was the one who received the looks of disgust from everyone around me.I did not want to be treated like that again.I gathered my courage to speak up. “But the teacher said that shouting in public is bad behavior. It’s wrong to do that.”For a brief moment, Mom and Dad’s

“What?” Mom was a little shocked. She tried to say something else, but the caller had hung up.“Charlie!” Mom’s face turned crimson with rage.

After returning home in a daze, Mom and Dad found the house completely empty.A bad feeling crept into their chests.Sure enough, they found a letter Maggie had left on the coffee table.The handwriting was childish, but every sentence was filled with confusion and resentment.[Mom and Dad, I don’t get it.

[You’re selfish, cowardly, and whenever something happens, all you do is avoid responsibility. I don’t want parents like you!

We only ever thought about forcing Charlie to protect his sister, but we never corrected Maggie’s way of thinking.
