This is a really true story about Kolter’s childhood. It was very difficult because he was a terrible kid. When very young Kolter had 2 moms. One of them was the most wonderful person ever called Enaile and his other mother was a woman of few words and very peaceful mind called Pratibha. Before Kolter came to their house they had a perfect life. Everyday was a happy day and they never argue about anything. After the first day that Kolter enjoyed that family they never had a single minute of peace. No one could figure out what was wrong with him. His family went to several doctors looking for help. The doctors couldn’t do anything to help them, but they gave an advice that brought a light at the end of the tunnel. They told those 2 moms that Kolter was a lost case and’ for the sake of everybody, they should make Kolter “to meet God”. After Pratibha heard those words she became speechless and Enaile right away ordered a casket, but as soon as she knew that the doctors weren’t saying that literally, she canceled it.
Next day Enaile dropped Kolter off at the church then she went to work. Few minutes later, she arrived at her work and she had received dozens of phone calls from the church. Enaile had a golden heart, she thought that Kolter had an emergency. She went as fast as possible to save her beloved son from the danger. On the way to the church she called Pratibha to meet her at the church, but Pratibha already was there and once more she was wordless. When Enaile arrived she found out that Kolter was the emergency. He was speaking horrible things out loud. The priest told them that Kolter was against Jesus’ words. Kolter didn’t want to accept that Jesus’ love is real, that Jesus loves everyone. Enaile and Pratibha went home very embarrassed by Kolter’s behavior, but not before they heard from someone in there that Kolter had the dirtiest mouth of all time.
At home they began an important conversation. They asked Kolter why he was saying bad words at church and why he had those bad feelings about Jesus. His lies began when that dreadful boy said that his sister Melissa hit him, and the priest was drunk and doing inappropriate things with him. It seemed like that kid came from a very dark place because he did so many bad things that Enaile lost her patience and revealed the truth about his past. When that insolent kid tried to explain himself by pointing the finger at his mom, she had no alternative left. She made it clear that he wasn’t her real son. Enaile told Kolter that his real family left him in the trash. He was among cats when they found him. Enaile opened her arms to Kolter, she desired to forgive him. She wanted a fresh start, but he refused that. He joked that he would prefer to live with cats.
Enaile was concerned about his future. She didn’t want him to end up in jail, but Kolter told his mom off when he said that she once was in jail. Those words broke her fragile heart, but what that spoiled kid didn’t know was that she went to jail to protect him. She took all the responsibility for his bad action. She was such a brave woman, because when you are so religious as she was being accused of a minor thing is like the death. Imagine getting the blame for all Kolter’s crimes. Pratibha finally broke her silence and said to that mean child to just keep quiet. As he final act he tried to separate that family. Everything that he touched he ruined it. He always was trouble at school. He made fun of his saint brother. Kolter almost made his mom beating him, but she knew about his plans to keep her away. Putting her behind bars it would be very easy to him destroy the members of the family that remains. Kolter was kicked out of that family, and they became free of that cursed boy.
Kolter’s second family was once again consisting of two wonderful people. One of his mothers, was the hard working Amphone and his other mom was the sweet Rose. Kolter had the opportunity to restart his life. He was living in a big house having everything that money could buy and for the second time receiving unconditional love, but it wasn’t enough for Kolter. He always wanted more and because of that he couldn’t keep his mask of good son for too long. He needed to find out what his moms had that most precious. In few weeks he figured out that they loved their house. They spent many hours cleaning and buying new things to decorate their little palace. That was their mistake, they loved something else than Kolter and he couldn’t take it.
After a long day of work Rose and Amphone went home. On their way to their house they started to plan what they should do in the evening. They agreed that they should have a cookout by their ginormous swimming pool with their amazing son. They couldn’t wait to go home because they had a surprise for him. They had bought a Jet Ski for Kolter to play in the pool. When they were getting closer to the house they saw a huge smoke covering the sky. Few miles later, they had the worse news of their lives. Their beautiful house was burning. Amphone and Rose were shocked and very worried about their golden boy that was how they called Kolter. They really thought that Kolter was a blessing in their lives until they talked to the police.
Kolter began another crucial conversation in his life. Amphone and Rose told him that they knew that he was responsible for the fire and ask why he did it. Kolter, the liar, said that he tried to cook dinner for his mom. He wanted to make a barbecue, but he ended burning down the house. Amphone told him that barbecue should not be prepared inside of the house. Kolter was acting as a stupid kid and said that she never told him that. Kolter started to make fun of Rose. He was pretending that he couldn’t listen to her. Rose repeated several times that he should listen to his mom and he was continuing to make fun of her. After she realized that he was being disrespectful, she wanted to be sure that he wouldn’t repeat his behavior. Therefore she made Kolter to feel the weight of her hand on his ears for never again he pretend that he can’t listen to her.
Kolter explained that he was cooking the barbecue for her anniversary in the fireplace. Amphone, such a great mother after everything that Kolter had done, still worried about his sake. She asked him why he was so dirt. Amphone advised him to take a shower. He made fun of her reminding she that he couldn’t take any shower because there wasn’t a house anymore. After they realized that they were homeless because of what this little monster did. Kolter was not longer welcome. Unbelievable Kolter had achieved his purpose, he had destroyed the whole house, but he was trying to be among them.
Amphone said they were homeless and Kolter should go, but he wanted to know where they were going to live in. He wasn’t ready to give up on that family. Amphone made it clear that she wasn’t able to take care of him. Kolter tried to change their decision by repeatedly saying that he was their son. Kolter was being so tough on Amphone that came out her desire to go to a cousin’s house. But Kolter needed to know which one and smart Amphone confused Kolter by saying that she would be at her brother’s house. Kolter had burned down the house. It meant that he had ruined another family, but he didn’t want to leave them. What they had that could be valuable for Kolter? Kolter didn’t wait any longer and he asked if they had insurance on the house. They confirmed to Kolter that they would receive lots of money. And as a Phoenix, they would rise from their ashes and start over. But first they must kick him out of their lives.
Kolter, the parasite, needed to find another family that he could lean on. Kolter knew that he could not fool women, so he desperately needed to find a man. Kolter sought for a naive man and evidently it was impossible to find because there was no such thing. So, he looked for someone who would never suspect that his intentions. Kolter’s search for a dad didn’t last longer because he got a big list of candidates to choose from. Kolter wasn’t happy with those men, to tell the truth he was scared to death by them. It seemed that they wanted to be more than a father should be, by using M. Jackson’s method on how-to-deal-with-a-kid’s-fear-of-darkness. It encouraged children to go to bed with adults instead of to turn a light on during the night. Kolter crossed out all those names and wished that he had been a good son for his moms.
Kolter was living by himself on the streets. People could not give him any change because, after just one day, he stank so much that no one would dare to come closer. After a couple days of hunger Kolter had lost his mind. He was uncontrolled and he moved forward to a giant and juicy orange, but the fruit screamed while Kolter tasted it. That fruit appeared to be a monk. He was the perfect father for Kolter. Kolter began his role of a poor little orphan and a good soul called Phonesay decided to be Kolter’s father.
While Phonesay was looking after Kolter, he was teaching him, too. Phonesay was being very clear that Kolter just needed to learn one basic thing. It was always stick with the truth. He used to say that the medicine against evil is to be loyal to yourself. Since Kolter harassed Phonesay to live with him he was taught that there aren’t reasons to lie. Phonesay was very proud of Kolter. So far their relationship was full of harmony. Until the day that Kolter’s teacher called. He told Phonesay that yesterday Kolter missed school. Phonesay was very unhappy not only because his son took the day off from school, but also because Kolter said in the past week that he would study hard to be graded as a C student and no more as an F student. Phonesay waited for Kolter to come home to have a tough conversation with him. When Kolter went into the living room he knew that he was in hot water.
Phonesay said to Kolter that he was lying about being at school on the day before. When Kolter denied the information, he lied again. Successively, Kolter continued to lie for his father. Kolter said that the teacher was lying, because he went to school. Kolter was a hypocrite about everything. Like when he said that he wanted to save the world, but he was a litterer and he lied about it, too. Kolter told Phonesay that he was at school. He spent all day in the bathroom.
Kolter, the malign, tried to hurt Phonesay’s feelings by saying that he was absent at the class because the night before Phonesay had cooked dinner and it wasn’t good. The problem wasn’t the food because it was good. The problem was Kolter ate too much and because of that he was absent from school. Phonesay said good food, and Kolter said bad food. It’s hard to know whom to believe. To trust the good heart Phonesay or to believe on that little dirty mouth, arsonist, and liar?
Kolter was annoying his father. He was saying that again it was Phonesay’s fault because he cooked bad food. Phonesay said that he ate the same food and he hadn’t had any problems with it. It meant that the food was good and Kolter was the problem. Kolter said that his father was a bad cook. Kolter was being very disrespectful with his father. Kolter did it before with his other parents because they made the same mistake that Phonesay to care about him. He joked about Phonesay’s appearance. Kolter said that the food made his father a sick man because he hadn’t hair. Phonesay explained that he had not hair because he liked his style and it was a smart thing if you often cook because there will be no worries about a fallen hair on the food.
Phonesay said to Kolter not to lie again and when he goes to school he should study and not to be on the toilet. Kolter said that he was on the toilet because he was sick, and Phonesay said when you were sick you have to give me a call to be picking up. Then you could stay at home, recovering from it. Kolter said that if he didn’t go to school Phonesay would beat him. Phonesay said that it wasn’t true because he only would beat if Kolter didn’t want to go to school, but not if Kolter had a stomachache. Kolter pretending to be the victim said, “I’m scared of you, daddy!” and Phonesay replied, “You scare me!”
Kolter told his dad that he didn’t lie. He told him that he attended school, but he left out that he wasn’t in class. However, Phonesay told him that the teacher had called him, and while Phonesay was speaking, a witness appeared in that house to ratify that Kolter wasn’t at school and he was lying. Repeatedly, Kolter said that he was sick because the food didn’t taste good. He said that Phonesay didn’t have any problem with it because he was spitting out the food. Phonesay said that he didn’t spit out the food, but Kolter said that he didn’t remember that because he was drunk. It was another of Kolter’s hideous lies because Phonesay didn’t drink.
The truth was Kolter was the drunken one. Kolter has been drinking beer since he was an infant. And he didn’t want to face his problems with alcohol. He called his dad a liar and a crazy. Kolter was also delusional because he was under the effect of alcohol. He thought that his father was beating him and he wanted to call the police. He even faked a broken arm, but Phonesay still wanted to take care of him. He took little Kolter to a rehabilitation center. At the rehab Kolter was having a hard time, but Kolter was blessed because everything could be worse if he was like his hero Pinocchio. That would be harder for Kolter to explain why his nose grows while he is speaking.
P.S. Pinocchio’s father was the luckiest parent ever because he could easily identify when his son was lying. And in the winter if he needed to he could use his liar son to heat the house.
