Today Benny Allen invited me over to his house after school. He's kind of a strange kid and we've never really been friends, but we've been classmates for like forever, so I went. They had this weird indigo carpet in every room, and the whole place smelled like boiled parsnips. I looked at his collection of model robots and we played a little Pokemann Snake 12, and then I went home. It was pretty awkward the whole time. I hope he doesn't ask me again.

Yesterday we went exploring in the old condemned forest over by Old Man Christian's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for trespassing, but we managed to grab a neat iron knife before we left.
