I had my FINGERS CROSSED, so it didn't count. And why can't I get anyone to understand this was FOR MY FUTURE that I did it? It wasn't for some dumb BABY REASON.
No, six is almost still a baby. And 13 doesn't smell, unless you use perfume, which I never do, cause it's stupid and makes you smell like those old ladies in the department stores.
Do you think it was wise to start a journal on the same day you already broke one rule, little one?
Someday I'll make some lemon squares for you, so you can try them. Don't worry, I'll bring them to your house so your Grandfather doesn't get his hands on them first.
Well, I think you do a much better job of writing in your journal than some older kids do, actually. Age is a silly, oversimplified way to classify people.
And as far as English goes, speaking it is great, but if you ever end up visiting the States, it'll be awfully helpful if you can read and write it, too. Trust me, it's awfully scary to find yourself somewhere where you don't understand the signs on the walls or the restaurant menus! I have to agree with you, though, that teachers can be a real pain. My tutors used to drive me nuts, 'cause a few of them got all offended when I'd mix one language up with another.
I have to be able to write good, cause I was home studied and when they do that, you have to do lots of tests and write lots of papers to prove you're really learning and not just at home having fun and doing nothing.
Also, Jifu is a real buffalo about making sure my work looks neat. He's made me write papers over about five zillion times till he was sure it was perfect. I learned to do the computer thing cause otherwise he'd pick on my handwriting. You can make the letters neater, can't you, Mikomi? You can keep the letters on the line, can't you, Mikomi? I can even use all ten fingers on the keyboard, which is better than most kids.
Half the kids in my english class can't even speak english without sounding like idiots. Why do I have to perfect writing it, when they can't even perfect speaking it. My teacher even admits I speak it almost like a native, thanks to Jifu, but then she rides me about spelling it and it doesn't seem fair.

Personally, I find your boldness a lot like your grandfathers. I find it to be refreshing.

Loud Mouth Uncle Goku is blabbing about my journal, so I guess I'm double busted.

But the one thing I hope you learn from all of this, is that when you make a promise you keep it.
