Behind the girls.Mom switches off the TV on her scurry back to the kitchen. even though its just lil ole me.Wheres the rest of your head? Lally slicks down his eyebrows in the mirror.

The action doesnt change - the information you use to judge it does.While I watch the cannons flashing ??Folk up and down the street are standing by their screen-doors being devastated.
