Miss M is having an identity crisis.
Yesterday, she cried because her eyes weren’t blue.
The day before she cried because the wind made her hair ‘crazy’ and ‘not beautiful anymore.’

Last night I had a dream.

She wants us to show her “those pieces of clothing you can’t seem to throw away, whether you wear them or not. It might be your grandma’s wedding dress, a jacket from high school, a t-shirt from an old boyfriend or those jeans [...]

Miss E is watching Drake and Josh on Nick Replay. The two boys, ‘Drake and Josh’ have an annoying little sister who is some kind of genius and is always playing tricks on them.
Mr B: “They should just slap her.”
Miss E: “Dad, she will get them back by doing really bad stuff [...]
