Meg, you owe me for emotional damages! You owe me for something! My time back! I am owed!!!

Sick and twisted! But the book isn't bad. The best part is the creative writing. Extremely, vividly, wildly creative. 

This should be a lesson to all parents: if you're a bad enough parent your family tree might end up looking like a diamond!
