She stopped shouting and began sobbing big streams of tears, staring with her hands pressed over her open mouth. “Oh no, oh no, this was a big mistake!” While I hugged her then glued the roof back onto the dollhouse she continued to cry and repeat “this was a big mistake.” If it were possible to tell anyone anything and be heard I would tell her it never ends and you never get used to it.
