Birthday Number 15, April 9th

5- My first year of kindergarten,
 Daddy sends me off to the world 
(Or so he says, but I know I'll be coming home at three)

10- I'm growing older and I got a little bit taller too. 
 I think boys have cooties
(Well, don't they?)

15- I'm not quite there yet (but I'm pretty close)
Birthdays are stupid now, because I'm feeling old.
My brother is only nine, and now I'm nearly fifteen.
