WORD OF THE DAY: UNDENIABLE, MEANING NOT OPEN TO REFUSAL OR QUESTION
It is an undeniable fact that being a six-year-old girl is tough. It is also an undeniable fact that being me, Rosie Day, is even tougher. It's true. Today I made a list, and so here it is in black and white:
1. My bedroom is all the way downstairs, and my parents won't let me sleep in the upstairs guestroom unless it's a Friday night. And being downstairs is so far away from my parents' room upstairs, and it's lonely at night.
2. My allowance is only one dollar a week. And I only get it if I make my bed every day, which I can never remember to do.
3. My friend Ella has a brand new talking dog that you can pull and it actually walks behind you. My parents won't get me one, too, which I think is really unfair. They say I have a real dog and a real puppy, but the puppy's always biting me, so I have to leave her alone. My parents tell me I have to save up the money for the dog that talks and walks, but it's 50 dollars, and I'll die of old age before I can save up that kind of money.
4. My Mom makes me eat protein at every meal, but I don't like eggs or peanut butter, and I'm getting sick of hot dogs.
5. It's so boring at my house right now because it's summer and my friends are on vacation or in camp. I have an older brother, but it's no fun to play with him. First of all, he's a boy, so he doesn't like to play Barbies like I do. But second of all he has autism. Autism means, like, you can't really listen very well and you can't talk very well and they don't know things that other people know. And they have a different brain than ours.
