Through the Eyes of a Child

By Jo

I think my Mummy's very cross today. She didn't seem happy with Daddy at all. I think it might be to do with Fossen, whatever that is. They were talking about it today, and they talked about it once when I was very little. I don't know why they talked about it again, it seems like a very long time ago. But I'm only little, so I don't know about time much.

Daddy was giving me a cuddle, which was very nice, and he was talking to Mummy. She went to go to sleep, I think, like when I get put in my cot. But Daddy said to her "Elizabeth, about the Fossen case." I think Elizabeth might be my Mummy's name, but I don't know ho wshe has two. I want to know what Fossen is, I don't know very much. I know I'm just little, but I want to know. But Mummy said "I thinkwe've talked enough about him today." That's why I think she's cross. She sounded very cross. I don't like Mummy being cross, it makes me sad, and I think Daddy gets sad sometimes too. He cuddled me very tight after Mummy went. I don't know why. I don't know lots of things.

Fossen happened before, when I was very small. I was very scary, because big men came, and wouldn't go away. Mummy kept saying it was to be safe. But I was very, very scared. I'm only little, and they were so big. Bigger than Daddy. I think Mummy was scared too, because she wouldn't stop talking to the tele...television? No, that's the thing with pictures. Something. I think it listened very well, because Mummy kept talking.

When Daddy came home later, Mummy was happy again. I was too, because I like Mummy being happy. She was upset too though, I think, and so was Daddy. They kept talking about Fossen, and I didn't know what it was. I still don't know what it is.

When Mummy went to go to sleep, Daddy talked to me. He told me he had been very bad. I think he made someone go to sleep forever. It might have been a nice person, because he seemed very sad. But he said he was a very bad person. I don't understand. Why are they sad? Why was Daddy bad? What's Fossen?
