Sad Life 11-23

A sleepover Hooray My sister and I We pack light a small bag each It's been 3 days I am out of fresh clothes I miss my toys Can I go back now? Apparently sleepover Does not mean what I thought Ah, if only I brought more clothes If only I got my books If only I could keep what was mine the new house is good until I mess up and then come the lines I will not I shall not I will not I shall not My sisters afraid of bees So why is it she's outside forced to stand in a patch of clover Why? Trampoline tickle fight the older girls should have listened I cried stop they did not And yet here I am on the porch Wet bottom towards the world begging for forgiveness? "She" burst in while I was changing "Get Out" i scream, like a respectable person Except I forgot, 9 year old girls without parents aren't respectable, or people half an hour I sat, shirtless in front to the window Ham and cheese That's it Every day for a summer Ham. And. Cheese eventually I hid the ham and only ate the cheese We are selected by a family we will finally have a home we tour the place, and it's amazing tree house, dollhouse, multi acre yard We'll give you a call said the "parents" but they never did ah, eggbert, oh speedy one you are my only friend all the other games were always asking for player 2 but who needs a player 2? Is it just me or are our dinners getting smaller? Tomorrow marks the first day of fourth grade We head to the doctor We get weighed At 40 lbs, I am in the fifth percentile That's a good score, right? Todays the day Finally January 2009 Somebody sees me for who I am
