I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, can not wait until Amelia can communicate effectively, not try to kill herself every five minutes, develops actual interests outside of trying to kill herself every five minutes and trying to masturbate when she's covered in poo, and can be reasoned with ( Read more... )
