Dear Journal,
Um...Hi. I know it's been a while, but I swear, it's not my fault. It was one of them there freak accidents that nobody can explain.
God, you smell really bad. I think it may have to do something with that odd green
thing on the back of ya. Whatever.
Everything is just peachy in the household. Well, as peachy as one can get, living with one teenager, two children, two babies, and various other critters. I'm surprised I still have that small nugget of sanity left.
It was until after a month or so that I noticed something odd about Pell. Unlike normal babies, she wasn't growing. At first I thought she might be a midget or something, but then I figured she would be a small sized baby if she was a midget, so that was out. Then I remembered this book. Yeah. This thing.
It took me more than a month to find it. HOW COME STUFF IS ALWAYS UNDER THE COUCH CUSHIONS
AFTER YOU'VE ALREADY CHECKED? But I've recovered it again. Sort of. I'm going to have to clean off this gunk, though.
We've had a few scares. It's spring now, and you know how spring can be. Warm during the day, freezing at night. This was about a month ago, I suppose. It happened to be one of them nippy nights, and I know I should have turned on the heater, but honestly, I was just too lazy to get out of bed.
Well, the next morning, I went in to get Pell out of her bed, and I screamed. Like a girl. HER EARS HAD SHRIVLED UP AND WERE BROWN AND ICKY. I had honestly thought I had damaged the poor girl for life. I didn't know her ears were
actual flowers and they need warmth and all that.
Pell didn't seemed to pleased that her ears were all ugly. She kept tugging at them, and giving me a venemous look. Her attitude may be cheerful most of the time, but when she's pissed, she's pissed.
I managed to save her ears, though. It turns out, unlike real flowers, with a little bit of care, her ears turn back to their normal, sunny yellow. Not fall off. Thank god.
But I take her outside everyday now to let her get some sun. She likes being outside, I think. She'll grin and giggle and grin some more until it gets really annoying and I wish she would fall down or something so she would
stop smiling. But she never does. Unless her ears turn brown.
