************************************************************
Young Bobby slipped into his sister’s room one night when she was at her boyfriend’s house. She’d caught him rifling through her stuff before. To put it mildly, Jessie was not kind. This time, he’d put each item back in place! Oh, boy! At last, he found her diary! He read each page and found some shocking facts! His eyes were big as saucers as he learned his sis and all her friends had done some things they’d never tell their moms and dads about. He found he couldn’t put this treasure down. He started finding entries about—HIM: “The little creep has been in here again. He messes with my stuff, and he’s too dumb to put things back in place! I’ll catch him soon!” “I know some stuff on him he’d never tell our parents, so I have some leverage. I just may tell them—” Then he realized the last page of the diary was missing. He put the “treasure” back and fled the scene.
