She said，"Surie's in the corner because she's not been very good．She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should．"In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in pink．It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think．

And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life，as I listened to her innocent（天真的）words that cut me like a knife．I hadn't been paying enough attention to my most dear．
