He is very grouchy and the woman keeps calling him Johnny instead of John. John began to hate her for calling him that. He kept his face expressionless and no one knew any of his feelings. The social worker lady was going over the paperwork with the Woman. John was looking over all the pictures that he thought were stupid. He hated the whole house and was wondering where the T.V. was. The Woman told John he had to drink his lemonade in the kitchen. Then she started telling him how she took lessons on the piano when she was little. She told John she could teach him if he wanted. Then she asked him if he had met Toby. When he reached toward Toby, Toby backed away. John liked it when things were scared of him, it gave him power. The Woman told Toby to be nice to John and not to be scared. She then gave John a biscuit to give to Toby. John knelt down to give Toby the treat, but then took it back and laughed. He told Toby he might give him the treat later. Liturary Luminary: pg.45 paragraph 1: //He scowled when the woman called him Johnny.
