Highlights from the Diary of Pop
February 8, 1982
Finally picked,
No more conflict.
A cute little boy,
Just wanting a toy.
I have been chosen! This morning a little boy came in wearing a red jacket and jeans with a little button that said, “I’m Four Years Old Today!” As he and his mother walked in, she said, “Ok Richard you can pick one item in addition to all of your presents at home.” He glanced around, looked up at his mom, and waited for her to tell him he could go look. As soon as she did, he ran straight to me, picked me up, and hugged me. At this point I was so excited that I didn’t even care that he had chocolate all over his face that he was getting on me! He ran over to his mother and said, “Mommy, I want this one!” And so I am going to my new home. This is the best day of my entire life!
