THE STORY OF ME AND MY LIFE ENTRY TWO

10th Feb 1999

Dear Abi

Today, I got into a lot of trouble. Nobody told me I wasn't supposed to do it. How was I supposed to know? If they told me in the first place none of this would have happened.
Anyway, so I was up in my bedroom, reading a book. And I got hungry. So of course I took a little trip down to the kitchen. I found some chocolate chip cookies lying on the unit, on top of a baking tray. Now, you know me, Abi, I just lurve chocolate, especially when it's double chocolate. So, I took a cookie.
I was taking it back up to my bedroom, when my darling sister, Hannah, ambushed me from her room.
"Mummy!" She bellowed from the top of her voice. "Mummy! Ali's taken one of my special cookies!"
Afterwards, escalated such a row, my ears are still ringing. Apparently, Hannah had baked some cookies, because she was going on a sleepover, and wanted to take some cookies with her. Special cookies. So she baked some. Apparently, I should have known this, because Mum had told Hannah to tell me about the cookies, knowing that I love chocolate more than life itself. So I said that Hannah deliberately didn't tell me, to get me into trouble.
Of course, Mum took Hannah's side, and sent me up to my room for the rest of the day. Which suited me fine, as I was headed up there anyway.
Right now, I am talking to you, as you're the only one who understands me.
"Ali, I think we need to have a little chat about your attitude."
Mum's just walked in. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to plead guilty.

Goodbye, kind Abi.
