Dan Floss has papered his walls with abstract prints of multi-coloured koi. True.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like most adults, he talks a lot about not feeling sufficiently caffeinated and how things were in his day. False.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a child, he told his case worker that every rented family felt the same. He meant it too. True.<\/p>\n

Dutifully, he\u2019d pointed an antique video recorder at Andy who was dressed as a lugubrious sunflower. The sunflower\u2019s face was tear-stained. A cackle of small to medium-sized bullies had been told a radiographer can make shadow puppets appear in people\u2019s brains. They had laughed and created a misunderstanding Dan could have helped with if he hadn\u2019t been gallivanting around the hall making big talk with small-minded people. Dan didn\u2019t notice they were enrobed in the sweet aroma of betrayal on the car ride home and even suggested a pitstop for mint chocolate chip ice cream. Andy told his mother that his father didn\u2019t ever listen to hear him. True.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dan did not speak in babbles and random words as most infants learn to do. Instead, his first words were a request \u201cgive it to the baba, Mama\u201d as her tail lights became mottled by the darkness of his childhood streets and secrets. True.<\/p>\n
