Assertion: Making Friends by Amy Ozols

Response to adult on the plane:
Hello giant, wanna play with me?
See this? Its my talking Elmo. And this? My red truck, it makes noises! Vrooom! And this? My coloring book and crayons, crayons taste funny.
My name is Timmy, i'm gonna be 6 in March. You're a super big kid, are you 12? I can't wait till I'm as old as you. Oops, i got juice on your pants. S'okay, my mom says "Thank goodness apple juice washes off!" What are you drinking? Ew! It looks like dirty water, and smells bad too. You look bored, are you tired? I took a nap in the car before we came here. Its my first time on one of these. Mommy says they fly like my toys at home, 'cept these wont crash against the walls and the dog wont chew 'em up. Is it okay if I touch your pants? They're really soft! I'm sorry the juice got on 'em. Want to get your mud water on my pants to get even? It's okay, i don't mind.
What? I'm not tired. No, I don't want to nap again! Stop, gimme my Elmo back! Mommy, make her give it back! Giants are mean, you can't play with me anymore...
What is that noise? Are we flying?! Ahhhhhhhh! Wait, I forgive you Mrs. Giant! Here, if you're scared you can hold my hand. There's not that much juice on it.
