Cate and Lux in “Bong Intercepted”

(about the Santa letter that Lux wrote at age 8) Okay, I know that right now, this seems like a really big deal, and I am not saying that it isn't, but that letter...that letter was sweet. Anyone who reads it would see that.

It's not sweet. It's sad. While other kids were asking for Play Stations and Barbie dream houses, I was asking for parents.

Right, which is understandable, because that is what you wanted.

Right. But no one wanted me, and now the whole school knows that.

Lux--

No! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Not a single person ever, in 16 years, wanted me! Out of all the foster homes, out of all the parents that stood outside that chain-linked fence and watched us play like, like we didn't know what was going on, they picked out kids like we were puppies...or cars. But nobody ever chose me, including you. So...so don't tell me that this isn't a big deal, or that you understand how I feel, because you don't!
