Please Lord teach us to laugh again, but God don't ever let us forget that we cried.

Showering

I'm three perhaps four years old. I'm in the shower with my dad. He wants me to wash my own hair. I won't. I don't want to, don't think I can. I know I'm in trouble, I remember the taste of the bar of soap he put in my mouth.

I don't know why I was still in the shower with him at this age. Looking back it seems very strange to me but I don't remember feeling uncomfortable at the time. Just angry that I had to wash my own hair.
