the lehses broke. Mrs. Mor+oh had +0 shut dowh the play after that, because Patty cah’t See +wo feet ih froh+
of
her without her glasses.

After the play was over, my family went home together. Mom had brought a bouquet of flowers, ahd I guess they were supposed to be for me. But she ehded up tossihg them in the trash cah oh the way out the door.

I just hope that everyohe who came to See the play was as ehtertaihed as X was.

Well, if one ^ood thing cane out of the •play', it's that X don’t have to worry about the "Botty' nickname anymore.

VJKeh X was seveh, tKe only tKihg X really wahted -for CKristnas was a Barbie Prean House. Ahd NOT because X like girls* toys, like Rodrick said.

X just thought ii would be a really awesome fori for my toy soldiers.

Vihen Mom and Pad saw ry wish lisi that year, they got in a big fight over ii. Pad said there was no way he was getting me a dollhouse, bui Mom said ii was healthy for me io "experiment" with whatever kind of toys X wanted io play with.

I

Believe ii or hoi, Pad actually won that argument. Pad told me io start ry wish list over and pick some ioys that were more "appropriate" for boys.

Bui X have a secret weapon when it comes io Christmas. My Uncle Charlie always gets me whatever X want. X told him X wanted the Barbie Pream House, and he said hed hook

me up.

Oh Christmas, when Uhcle Charlie gave me my gift, i+ was NOT what X asked for. He must’ve walked ihto the toy s+ore ahd picked up the first thihg he saw that had the word Barkie * oh i+.

Pad washt real happy wheh he saw wha-t Uhcle Charlie got me. He told me +o either throw it out or give it away to charity.
