They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Dream of the Sorcerer Clan. Brianna O'Donnell is gonna be playing Princess Veronica'rod, so if I got to be Brennen'dir I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid mongoose, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

Today Marty Rutledge came over after school and I showed him my pet mongoose, Jake. He said that was a dumb name and said I should've named it Whiskers, but what does he know? He named his pet marmoset Mr. Snuggles, and that's just ridiculous.
