Here's the deal: when life throws you shit,
YOU DEAL WITH IT.
YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
YOU SOLVE IT.

Ok, the shit analogy is not great. But he gets the drift. After 4.5 years living on the same planet as other homo sapiens, he is finally attempting to break from the norm.
Yep, the norm of complaining. Sit and complain. Shit and complain. Cry and complain. Whine and complain. That's what humans are best at.
Because we are an alien family, we do not want to complain like the human race, do we? *ahem*
Here's what happened. Papah has been very busy this week. (This is a statement. It's not a complaint.) Gooly misses him. Say, how come I don't get to be missed? (This is a query, not a complaint.)..
Anyways, they haven't seen each other for days. I promised that when he awoke this morning, papah will be back. But then papah had to leave for work early. So Gooly missed him again. Today is the 3 rd day since he last saw him.
Naturally, he woke feeling dissapointed that Papah wasn't around. AGAIN. Because we aren't allowed to wallow in self pity, I asked,"What do you want to do to make yourself feel better?"
He picked up the phone and dialed the 10 digits number (which I have problem remembering.)
Hello? Papah?
Where are you? Working? Office?
The pool is too cold.
Yeah.. I know..
You know what..?
I love you.. Are you coming back tonight? Ok, I will wait up.
I miss you too.
Ok, bye..
I was brushing my teeth, eavesdropping. Smiling with a mouthful of Darlie foam isn't quite attractive. Nonetheless, I am sure the recipient of the caller was also beaming.

Gooly was all cheery after the call. Ah.. that boy had a problem, he dealt with it. There was no tears.
Now, there is nothing to complain about that, eh? (except that HOW COME I DON'T GET TO BE MISSED?)
