No school because of snow again! Yesterday my mom and dad both stayed home and I got to play with my sled. Today they went to work and I went up to stay with Meema. Meema does not go out in the snow because she is old and afraid of falling.
So I brought some snow in. What are you doing? she asked me.Science, I told her. If you pour water into the snow it doesn't take up any room AND it all turns to ice.
I did some drawing and coloring while Meema was painting Christmas cards.
And I vacuumed, and I polished tables and stuff.
It was pretty boring, and I wanted to do games and watch videos on my tablet, but Meema got cranky and said I had already had enough screen time after breakfast. She even wrote me a story about a princess and a wizard gave her a magic screen that had neat stuff on it all the time and the princess forgot to eat or bathe or anything, she just watched her screen all the time. Then Meema said could I write the end of the story. So I wrote about a princess who had a magic robot crown, and a witch came and took it away. The princess fought the witch with her sword and got the robot crown back. The End.I wrote some more stuff and went and read it to Grumpy. He thought it was pretty good. Then I read some books--two to myself and one long one called Pirate Stew to Meema. (I had already read three other books before lunch.
Meema asked me about my doll. How many of those skinny leg dolls do you have anyway, she said. About a hundred, I told her, and they're called Barbies.
They didn't even have Barbies when Meema was a little girl. (I told you she was old.)
