Read the excerpt from “The Outside” in Inside Out and Back Again.
Mother says,
Worry instead
about getting sleep
because from now on
no more naps.
You will eat lunch
at school
with friends.
What friends?
You’ll make some.
What if I can’t?
You will.
What will I eat?
What your friends eat.
But what will I eat?
Be surprised.
I hate surprises.
Be agreeable.
Not without knowing
what I am agreeing to.
Mother sighs,
walking away.
