I was not allowed to stay until 12 yesterday. I am not allowed to watch the film I wanted to. On Monday I was notallowed to buy a tennis ball. On Sunday I was notallowed to go to the pop concert. I am notallowed to go out with Tom. I am notallowed to speak over the phone long. I am notallowed to read in bed. I’m afraid in a year I will notbe allowed to speak aloud. I will not be allowed to bring my friends home. I will not be allowed to go to the disco. Oh, Mum, answer one question, “When will Ibe allowed to think for myself?”
