I understand that your threats are meant to make me feel

small,

but when I watch you making them all I see is

a big baby

throwing a

bigger temper tantrum

and then

sucking his own thumb.

Just cause I won’t let

him

have

his

way.

No matter how large the physical difference,

or however much damage might be done

you’ll always be smaller than me…

How could I ever take such a

desperate sight as you

seriously?
