In January there is a ceremony for age and I'm becoming a thirteen.  Thirteens get an assignment like being a Nurturer, Caretaker, Professor of Cats, The Collector, etc. Every dwelling has to have a cat for the family. By the way, my name is Jonas, I apologize for not telling you earlier. My family consists of three other people (Mother, Father, and Lily.) You only can have 2 kids in one family a girl and a boy. Lily is a nine. After you get to be a thirteen you don't keep track of how old you are.

Asher, Fiona, and some other kids were playing a game called bad and good. When Asher came and "shot" me with a finger gun I fell to the ground and played with them until volunteering hours came at 3:00. Fiona went to the House of Old and Asher went to the House of Cats. I don't have a specific place I like to go to unlike them. I don't know why. Today I went with Fiona to the House of Old. I had to wash an elder lady named Sophia. She talked to me about a Discharge that had happened earlier.
