A Short Shaggy Dog's Tail

MY DIARY

Now I have been sent to my room and I don’t understand why.
So I am crying.
There was a long list of chores for me when I came home from school.
At the bottom it said that when I had finished I could make a prawn sandwich and go and play in the park until dark. It is not easy to say when exactly ‘dark’ is but I think I was home before it happened.
The list was mostly easy stuff, and I like looking after the house because it is my house and also my home. The only chore I did not like was writing letters because there was no one to help me.
OK, maybe there was a bit of a mess in the kitchen but that was Cindy’s fault because her bowl was two filled.
I did tried my hardestest. I ticked everything on the list and then went to the park.
When I came back mummy had a meltdown. I was told to ‘go to your room.’
