Jasper is lazy, have I ever told you? This morning, after he woke up and made a roaring sound that interrupting my Netflix, he asked me to make him breakfast. He had perfectly great arms and legs that he can use to walk into the kitchen and pour himself a bowl of cereal. He's lazier than a sloth.
"Where is the milk?" Jasper asks.
"Where milk would normally go." I reply.
"Yeah, I still don't know." Jasper says back. See what I mean? He is D-U-M-B.
"Check the refrigerator." I respond, annoyed.
"Ah there it is!" Jasper yells, once again loud enough to wake up the other side of the world!
I finish my episode of Pretty Little Liars until I decide to fix up my hair and makeup. Will I have time to do my makeup after Moving Day? Or will they trap me in an jail cell for a week with someone I hate? To be completely honest, I don't even understand what I'm getting myself into.
"Hey, so mom and dad aren't home." Jasper walks into the living room while stuffing cereal into his mouth.
"They aren't?" I ask.
"Nope, mom had to go to work early today and Dad went to Home Depot to get some tool-type-thingymabob." Jasper responds while taking a seat beside me on the couch.
"You know, you should really learn how to chew more silent." I respond.
"Who does that?"
"Normal people. Goodness Jasper, I'm about to rip your tongue off."
"That's harsh."
"No kidding."
When Jasper finishes his bowl of cereal, I wash all the dishes. Then I go to my room and take out my journal. I start to write:
<< I'm starting to really not like the idea of Moving Day. Our society is different. It's changed. I remember my mom telling me awhile ago that when she was a kid, they all had phones and hung out with friends, and they didn't have to worry about moving away at seventeen. Then we got a new president and blah blah blah everything changed. My mom was born in the 2010's. Wow, wish time would go back to those years. Thirty-six years later and it changed everything. Two more days until Moving Day. Oh please help me. XO Emma. >>
