Lionel/ Boo Boo Monologue

For me, Lionel, the day was a good feeling when I look back on it. The day is so prominent to me because it was one of the days that I had run away down to the dinghy and sat down to gaze out at the water and think about why I was upset. To this day I can’t remember why I ran away, but it must not have been important. Looking back I think about when mom had come down to the lake to find me and said she was calling herself an admiral. I told her she wasn’t, but it was only because I was in a bad mood.  She tried cheering me up and I was resisting. Eventually, I turned my emotions from being angry to being sad. I think I even started to cry. She got into the dinghy with me and comforted me as I wept.  After, we went to go to the store and purchase bread and pickles, we were going to eat the pickles in the car, and then we went to where my daddy was working to pick him up. We brought him home and we went on the boat with him. The relationship between my mom and I that day was fantastic, she was able to cheer me up by doing the things that I enjoyed even after how upset I was. I’m grateful that she was there for me when I needed her and still is today. -Lionel
