Who SHRUNK Me?
OK, so I'm freaked abt my mega-boil zits, so freaked I'm even lettin' Ma hug me. She's all. "We scrub our floors, not our faces!" Gah, I wish I had one of those moms who teach their kids abt skin care 4 real, & B4 they scrub the heck outta their faces! But the worst thing? I've totally shrunk, like I'm even shorter now than I was B4 I had that amazing growth spurt overnite that made me abt the same height as Mom! Now, my head like barely comes up 2 her shoulderz & my limbs R all small & spindly. I lk like I'm sumwhere betw 5 & 8 yrs old! That bad magick fr. Corbeil is really kickin' my arse, peeps! So, like, I'm not going 2 school 2day. It's 2 dangerous. The way thingz R going, I wda been like the size of a newborn by the time the bus rolled in2 school.
Oh, & I saw this thot bubble over my mom's head, when she was cradling me as I shrank further 2 the size of a toddler: "My poor girl. She's between a rock... and a hard place." Is that, like supposta B a punch line of sum kind? Does it have sumthin' 2 do w/what we'd just been talking about? I don't get it.
So, Becky's been sharing stories about the Howard doggie, with sum messages 2 me fr. the spirits of Farley & Mr. B. Farley was totally luvvin' on me, but Mr. B's like super angry, an' I can't really blame him cuz he sez he wasn't fully dead yet when Ma stuck him in that freezer. I had this horrible nitemare last nite abt bein' frozen alive & then Lovey, like, almost turning me in2 stew B4 making a pretty coffin 4 me. Egads!
Oh, I got a txt message fr. Alex saying she's home sick 2day 2. @ least I think she's not shrinking, & her skin hasn't turned grotesque. Lucky girl!
Liz & Constable Paul R like a brite spot in all the scaree we've had l8ly. Keep up w/the happy, U 2, I need sumthin' 2 cheer me up B4 I shrink 2 the size of an embryo & vanish. :(

Well, Mr. Pea. If I may interject for a moment the fact that I have been a kid for a long time. I don't even know how old I am. I just know I've been Good'Ol Charlie Brown for about as long as I can stand it.
It is always raining on my parade, his baseball game, and my friggen life! My friends call me a blockhead. I'm always the the butt of the joke. Not only that I've been wearing the same darn sweater with the zig zag trim for 55 years too! It's so bad for me that I am seeing a psychiatrist, and the sick thing is she's a kid too. Even sicker than that is she keeps pulling the darn football away from me and I just can't kick it! I am considerate, friendly and polit, but people take pleasure in the fact that I will never win a baseball game or the heart of the little red-haired girl, kick the football Lucy is holding or fly a kite successfully. I'm not even going to get into with you about my dog.
So yeah Mr. Pea I got something to bitch about! I have got a bone to pick. How come these FOOBS here get to grow up and then grow down and then grow up and I am perpetually stuck in prepubesence?

You know, Peppermint Patty once told me a joke once about a one eyed sailor.......

Dear April,
I have been a little girl for 81 years now. I don't have much to complain about. I mean sometimes my stories are a little lame and all, but I've spawned sayings, musicals and movies. I know that were I to have aged, I would be a grandmother with one foot in the grave. But, being a little oprhan, the thought of some family is very appealing.
I didn't come here to ask to grow up. what I would really like are some pupils, because looking at myself in the mirror really creeps me out. No one in my world really has eyes though. My dream is to have pupils.
Thank you for your kind consideration,
Annie

You could always have it worse, Apes, P.J. and Swee'Pea. What if you were a stocky 10 year old like me, and you had a mother who made sly, know-it-all grins all the time? Heck, at least April's parents pay attention to her. Mine ignore me for so long that my picture should appear on a milk carton sooner or later. Even our cat gets better treatment than me. After weeks of neglect, they'll spring $3400 for surgery on her spincter, or whatever. I just get yelled at for not doing my chores--before being subjected to those sly grins.

April. I got a letter n the snail mail frum Alexandra. It’s got sum personal stuff n it that I can’t tell u, but this iz the important part:
So I'm not going to tell you what to do to be my for sure boyfriend and I'm not going to tell you if I'll be your for sure girlfriend either. I want to get to know you without your future sister telling you how you should act. We should go do something that doesn't involve our sisters -- future or otherwise.
Your friend,
Alex
yeah, she uzed the “friend” word on me. My future sis sez thass the kiss o’ death 4 relationships. But I’m not gonna lissen 2 my future sis this tyme. I called n a favour & got us ticketz 2c the Maple Leafs. They r playin’ the Atlanta Thrashers 2morrow @ the Centre. My mom sed she wud escort us 2c the maple leafs, so I wudn’t hafta take alexandra’z parents. It’s hard 2 get 2 know Alexandra wen ur spending ur tyme afraid of her dad killin' me. I left Alexandra a message askin’ her if she wunted 2 go, but I donno if she iz well enuff. I hope she can, though. Mebbe she will tell me @skool, if she'z there.

Enizaabet,
Kaa-mesnin gwanaaj oshki-ikwe! (I miss you, beautiful one)!
Miigwech (thank you) for the story of your waaboozoog (rabbit), Mr. B. Your sister had good imagination today. Many friends helped her with her zits. It made me laugh to read how she shrank them like babies.
I did not understand the witch changing the colour of your suit. Is “witch” your name for clothes washer? There is much I do not know about you. It brings me happiness to learn more.
I am bakade (anxious) for the sound of your voice, your laughter and the godam (smell) of your waabigwaniin (pies) or zaagibagaa (meals). When I ate your waabigwaniin (pies) on Sunday, I knew that it had been long since your waabigwaniin (pies) had been eaten. You were aazhikwe (happy) and jiigawiganebizh (pleased) when I ate them. You are very beautiful when you are aazhikwe (happy).

Kaa-mesnin gwanaaj oshki-ikwe! (I miss you, beautiful one)!
The promise of your gwanaaj wiiyawimaa (cooking) makes me bazigwii` (hungry). My own wiiyawimaa gaandiN (cooking) does not compare to your baasaabikizigan boozi` (culinary skills). If I am not careful, you will make me giin zayaagi`iwedjig gaaginig (fat). It is a good thing we are going mazhiwe (hiking) to work off all that misawenim (good food). There is nothing like a good sweat to wiijiiw aazhikwe (burn off the calories). I am happy that you enjoy gonzhi (cooking) so much. I love to see you put niinag (food) into your warm biinjiya`ii (oven).
