What’s a scale?
What does “fat” mean?
I don’t understand
You people are strange
What does “same-sex marriage” mean?
Isn’t marriage just marriage?
What is an “eating disorder”?
Wait, you mean to say people suffer because others judge them?
Judgment.
I know what that means
I thought it was a myth
You see we don’t have it where I come from
I know what happy means
I know what love means
But I don’t understand the concept of the word “hate”
No, no I know what it means
But why would anyone want to hate?
They’re insecure?
Well what are they insecure of?
How they look?
What they wear?
How they love?
Really?
Well that’s silly
Everyone is different
Not one person is the same
And that’s great!
What do you mean that’s not great?
What is ‘normal’?
Oh! You mean “different”
You must mean different
Because no one is the same
Well you tiny person, how old are you?
Six?
Wow, you seem to know a lot of scary things
You’re young
Hey, why are you crying?
What do you mean?
You want me to take you with me?
But why?
Don’t you like it here?
Oh, you don’t like the judgment
I understand
Well not really but I can agree
Come along then
Where I come from judgment doesn’t exist
Of course no one will call you ugly
No one is ugly
Especially not someone with such a pretty heart
Now, forget all those words
They have no meaning where we are going
