Life for me, was like playing Beethoven's Fifth, with fingernails on a blackboard.

The rules of the game hadn't changed.
What was called teasing as kids might now be called perversion.
And what is perversion?
It's a matter of taste, like Chinese food.
You like it, or you don't.
Only if you're Chinese, you've got no choice.

Friends are like spectacles.
They make you look smart, but then they get scratched and start to bore you.
Luckily, sometimes, you get super cool ones.
Like me! I've got Sophie!

I like Jacks, and Monopoly - but only when I'm the banker.
I love marbles, I always win.
Snake and ladders is dumb.
But still less dumber than checkers, Rubik's cube and puzzle blocks.
Riddles, they aren't my thing.
Simon says, kickball, hopscotch - they're okay.
Tag's all right, but that's about it.
But there's one game you must never play.
And I mean never!
Even if your best friend wants you to.
And that's burying yourself in a block of cement!
