David once kicked a kid named Logan he was under a table and then he blamed it on Dale then Logan started fighting Dale David's friends used to come here and beat us up and one time Dale like tried running away crying But came back here because he had nowhere else to go. My neighbor name Sean used to call us stuff like an asshole and other bad words but like when we told our dad he was laughing and said " stop being paranoid". My father is heartless because he is an unfeeling and cruel person. About the Michael and Calvin thing another family party, they threatened to knock Dale out in the front yard and challenged him to a fight even though they know he was mentally handicapped and my parents even after that forced us to keep going over there until we were *. My father named Dale after a race car driver and today David said we already have one person named after a race car driver and look how they turned out. And one day my mom said we should turn this house into a homeless shelter in David said we already have two living here.
