Mom: Jake why don't you go to bed

Jake: (Goes to room) Great still nobody knows anything about my parents and I'm 15. You know she left me when I was two! They should know something. (Muttering, spitting, sobbing, breathing hard and stomping his feet loud)

Mom: Wait! Jake Come back here and sit down. (Jake sits down not too close) You know that we adopted you not knowing anything about you and that we did it out of our own hearts right?
