I still have to tidy the table to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is The Marvelous Mac Black -- I can't believe the stuff he gets up to every month!

Today Danny Jenkins came over after school and I showed him my pet tarantula, Mr. Cutesworth. He said that was a dumb name and said I should've named it Horus, but what does he know? He named his pet hissing cockroach Cal, and that's just ridiculous.
