For her everything had to be the best, it had to look the part, that's what my daughter felt was important. Always behaving like she was an angel, she was, a woman of the world, aloof. But in truth she was no better than the rest of us. I never had it easy with that girl, not from day one. I swear, there wasn't a single thing about her that was easy.
