the turtles and splinter treat you like you are their blood family even thought you are human, they found you when you were a small child… since then they were like a family to you.. but they are always so protective.. you as a 12 year old thought it was normal! You saw the turtles like older brothers… do ur Mikey and Raph and Leo and Donnie…. and you saw splinter as a father to you! But he very carful cause they are very protective….
