"Why are you crying, *Amy?” Amy has cerebral palsy and carries her feelings on her shoulders. She cries loudly about pretty much everything, good or bad. “I don’t want to go home early!” she wailed. Her entire body was heaving with the sobs. “You aren’t going home early,” I explained. “This is the time I had planned for you to go home because I’m going caroling tonight. I knew when I invited you that we would have to leave at 5:00, so it’s not early – it’s the plan.”
