Today at school Mrs. Blackwell taught us all about raising a sweater. I was pretty sweet at it.

They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Path of the Barbarian Princess. Morgan Wilkerson is gonna be playing Princess Madison'born, so if I got to be Reed'rond I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid parakeet, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

Mom kept pestering me to clean the windows while I was playing Cyborg Road 13 today. I tried to tell her I was in the middle of a boss fight, but she made me do it anyway. She said "For the want of a nail, the tough get going." I have no idea what she's talking about when she says stuff like that. Sometimes I wonder if I'm adopted.
