PROLOGUE

August 2nd In My Room 9:18 am Good Grief. I just realized that I can see into Mr. Next Door's bathroom through my window. As if I don't have enough trauma in my childhood. Jas is coming round later. We need to make an emergency lippy run. When I woke up earlier, I discovered that Libby used all mine to wipe her bottom. And she had beans last night. In the meantime, I'll just sit here on my nice soft bed.

9:20 am And watch Mr. Next Door have a bit of a piddly-diddly.

9:22 am Right. Sitting on bed did not work out so well, so I have migrated into (dare I say it?) Libby's room.

9:23 am NOTE TO SELF: Never, ever, EVER go in there again!! Libs had Andrea and Kevin over yesterday. I expect that they all have an intestinal problem.

9:24 am In the sweetest way, of course.

9:39 am I can't take it anymore!! Was about to phone Jas to come a bit early, but to no avail. Mutti and Vati stopped me on my way down the stairs. Said they wanted to 'talk' to me. Oh, goody.

10:00 am Oh.

10:01 am My.

10:02 am Buddha.

10:03 am Mutti and Vati both think it would be a good idea to have a change of scenery. I asked if they were planning on changing the wallpaper in the living room, but they just rolled their eyes. Can you honestly believe what they were thinking?

10:05 am No? Then I'll tell you. They want to move to AMERICA! America... OF ALL PLACES! Hamburgers, cartoons, and stick figures, oh my! I shot up in shock, but pretended to be a bit woozy from the emotional blow. Angus took this merry time to jump on my chair. Now I have ice on my fanny.

10:06 am And lots of bandages.
