I just stand there like a doofus wondering just what in the effing blazes is going on
Todd Hewitt in The Knife of Never Letting Go
by Patrick Ness
‘Squirrel!’ Manchee shouts and off he goes, jumping off the trail, no matter how loud I yell after him, and off I have to go, too, across the (I look around to make sure I’m alone) goddam fields cuz Cillian’ll have a fit have a fit if Manchee falls down some goddam snake hole and of course it’ll be my own goddam fault even tho I never wanted the goddam dog in the goddam first place.

The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don’t got nothing much to say. About anything.
“Need a poo, Todd”
“Shut up, Manchee”
“Poo. Poo, Todd”
“‘I think I’m maybe thru with men telling me what to do,’ I say … and suddenly I feel like I wanna get back in that bed and sleep for another five days.”
