Dear Diary,

Hey, I have not talked to mama since the big fight we had.  I have a feeling that Mr. and Mrs. Amison are trying to figure out what is going on with everybody lately.  Mama and daddy have stayed away from Darryl and I because Darryl has been trying to convince me that this is what’s going to happen if I like it or not.  I know that I should be nicer to mama considering everything she goes through but in my opinion, she should not have another baby.  I think Darryl agrees with me in what I am saying.  I am upset with mama and daddy because they are having another baby.  I have wondered if I should have kept what I said to myself.  I was talking to one of the girls last night and she said that she did the same thing when she found out that her mom was having her little brother.  She said that after awhile her and her mom started talking again.  I am now wondering if it would be good to go and talk to mama or just wait awhile longer to see how things turn out.  Maybe it will be for the best of the family or maybe not.  Write back soon. Bye!

Your Friend,

Anna
