Dear Diary,

Daddy brought me to Uncle Harvey's place. He says he will have to go away for a couple of weeks and then come home. I'll miss him but I have to be brave for Daddy, because he's the toughest guy out there and I am Daddy's little girl. Also he always comes back, no matter what.

I like Uncle Harvey. He looks scary but he's nice. He even teaches me bits and pieces of the law. Whatever that is. Uncle Harvey says knowing the law would be very useful in the future. He always chuckles when he says that. Don't know why.

Daddy says to learn from Uncle Harvey because he is my "law" teacher and supposed to teach me right from wrong. The only bad thing is that Uncle Harvey mostly teaches me laws for murder. Daddy says murder is when someone makes someone else go away for a very long time. Does that mean someone is murdering Daddy? I wouldn't like that.

Daddy is my only family, unless you include Uncle Harvey, Uncle Eddie, oh there is too many to name. But Daddy is my only blood relative, at least that's what Daddy says. He says Mommy went to a good place and can't come back. I don't exactly understand what that means.

Oh yeah. Today Uncle Harvey let me play with a new toy. He says it's a special toy that will protect me in the future. He calls it a "gun". It looks so cool! I've seen them before. Daddy says he'll never use guns because they are extremely boring unless it shoots a little flag out.

Uncle Harvey says not to aim it at anyone one and only hit the can off the wall. He says I can only aim it at people when I'm older and the people have to be mean and dangerous. Sometimes I wish he stops speaking in big words. Oh well I tried to shoot it by pushing the little trigger thingy on it and it felt like the gun went back then forward again. The little ball thingy came out and it hit the wall.

Uncle Harvey says this type of gun is called a bebe gun. He says if I accidently shoot anyone it won't kill them. And again big words don't know what they mean.

Uncle Harvey was watching and smiled well half smiled. He bent down and held onto my arms to help me aim at the can. He said to keep my hand steady and aim carefully. He moved my hands into the middle and told me to shoot. I pulled the trigger and I hit the can. I was so happy. I hugged Uncle Harvey and thanked him.

He kissed my forehead and then we had dinner. It was good lasagna. Then Uncle Harvey told me to brush up and change into my PJs. I wore my favorite ones. The ones with the jokers. It reminds me of Daddy, always smiling. I hope he's okay.

So I'm going to sleep with Uncle Harvey in his room. I can't sleep by myself yet. But don't tell anyone, okay? So I'll write into you tomorrow, until then be good.


How is it?
