She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say ,”I dont like your dress, its ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
