Alien Time: Part 2

By DONNA MALANE, Illustrator RICHARD HORT

When I talk about the beginning, I'm not talking about being in nappies and stuff either. I can't remember my parents gooing over me or anything. Not because I was too young then to have memories, though that's true too, but because my parents split up when I was still a baby so I don't remember them being together gooing about anything.

Not like my friend Elliot's parents, who are always holding hands and kissing each other on the lips and everything. I can't imagine my parents ever kissing each other. I can't imagine them ever even liking each other and, I mean, that helps if you're going to kiss each other and holds hands and stuff. I guess. Though actors do it to each other and they don't necessarily like each other.
