Bones sit in his cell at the juvenile detention center. He trying to figure out what he did wrong, why he’s locked up. The judge used all these big word, such as prostitution, delinquency, and a whole bunch of other stuff. He has no idea what all those words mean. Bobby |

Hello Bobby. It's good to be back and to see you again. Bones is new to me, so I'll be getting acquainted, and I'm sure it will be quite an adventure. The thought that Bones is oblivious to the words uttered by the judge suggests that he is absorbed in a world where the actual experience, not the words, are the reality he knows. Just a way of looking at it. Regards, art |

By golly Bobby you will have to put in a bit extra time with Bones and show him what those words mean, smiles. Lindsay |
