Translation into English
Dear Diary,
Ms. Storm said that I should keep a diary to write down my thoughts. And she said that it would help me remember stuff that happened now when I'm big and strong like daddy. And she said it would be good practice for me writing stuff. Daddy was called off by the government to help them find a rogue mutant who is up in Canada. Daddy said that he'd be gone for a few months, and that he'd call me when he could. After he left, Ms. Storm and Ms. Marie and Mr. Bobby started teaching me stuff, like how to read and write, and how to count and add numbers up. Daddy hasn't been able to call me yet. Ms. Storm says that he is using all his time to find the rogue mutant. I can tell she misses him too. So I haven't been able to tell him that I can read and write and count all the way up to fifty. Ms. Marie says that he will be very proud of me when I tell him. Ms. Marie and Mr. Bobby like each other a lot. Sometimes they make out when they think I'm not looking. Grownups are so funny sometimes. I noticed something weird today. Everybody calls daddy the "Sarge". He teaches about being strong and makes to students work out. He says he's a "Professor of Physical Education" but the big kids call him a "Gym Teacher" behind his back. Some big kids say that when they came to Mutant Academy they didn't know that they were enrolling for the military. I wonder what that means. I'm going to write more tomorrow.
