Attaché Case Hypothesis (1.3)

B’s step-dad had to go to a meeting somewhere. Trouble was he didn’t have anywhere to put his things now he didn’t have an attaché case. He asked B if he could borrow the old case. B said, “No you can’t. You gave it me. It’s my attaché case.”

B’s step-dad flew off the handle. B was pretty surprised by what his step-dad was saying. He looked to his mum, but she seemed to be taking his step-dad’s side.

Go on, B, she said. Why don’t you give him it back?

B burst into tears and ran to his room. He threw himself on the bed and balled into his pillow.

Why, B didn’t give a flying damn anymore about the stupid old attaché case with the stupid old lock that flicked up whenever you ran. As far as he was concerned, his step-dad could keep it.
