Summary: Il faut dire aussi qu'on m'a appelée Prunelle. Et après on s'étonne que je fasse une adolescence précoce. Quatorze ans, d'ailleurs, c'est plutôt l'adolescence tout court, voire l'adolescence un peu à la bourre… Et l'un des problèmes avec ma mère, c'est qu'elle n'a jamais sérieusement envisagé que je puisse grandir. Comment j'ai pu marcher aussi longtemps dans ses délires ? Ce n'est pas une mère, c'est un garde du corps. Mais ça cache quoi, au juste, tout ça?
