El caso es que entre su peinado de Darth Vader, su obsesión de ganarse trofeos por los poemas que escribe y esa manía burlona de recitar versos a todo pulmón cuando bajo del autobús escolar, entre risotadas y con cara de trágame tierra (y todo para obligarme a entrar rápido a su casa), yo me estoy volviendo loco también.
