Dark And here is a picture of my spirits five seconds later when Lula said Violet was coming too Why does Lula always have to invite both of us Violet never wants to do anything fun Last time when we went to the movies we didn't get a jumbo popcorn with a giant box of chocolate covered raisins the way Lula and I have for years and years and years because Violet said her stomach wouldn't feel right afterward Which made Lula say Yeah mine too probably So we just got the popcorn But stomachs are not the point The point is friendship tradition That movie did not feel as good without chocolate covered raisins And it was all Violet's
life is not the same Without us You need us O 0 Bring us back A Little Later Now Jo is acting CRAZY Before she went bonkers I was having a perfectly nice time in the kitchen with Mom and Granny Even though I don't like being in the kitchen as much as I used to Because it's gotten very cluttered in there Ever since Mom cleared out her home office so we could turn it into a bedroom for Granny At first Mom tried putting all her files in cabinets in our living room But the cabinets stopped closing they had so much jammed in them So Mom's been putting more and more of her papers on the kitchen table Plus she s keeping boxes of
staples and paper clips and pencils and pens and an electric pencil sharpener on the kitchen counter A couple of plastic pencil sharpeners too There are pencil shavings EVERYWHERE They're probably getting in our food hat are these unusual crinkly bits inside of ne Yuck I liked it better when Jo was the only messy one Anyway That s not the point The point is Granny Mom and I were having a nice time in the kitchen Granny's banana bread was in the oven She was sitting at the kitchen table sketching on her sketchpad in a spot that wasn't taken over by Mom's stacks Mom was making a salad
