Description:

A big expensive party at a local play park but Sam is a timid child and is too nervous to play. Spends his time clinging to Riley’s leg. This makes all the children laugh at him, including Alex and his friends. Benjamin grabs Sam furiously and is ashamed of his son and pushes him down one of the slides. Sam pees himself he’s so scared. That night, Sam overhears Benjamin and Riley fighting downstairs, Benjamin accusing of Riley of making Sam soft. He says he wishes Sam had never been born and that he’s a mistake. Sam starts crying himself to sleep.
