Dear Merlin,
It's me again! Today Addie couldn't play. Daddy says she's sick with a cold. Mummy said that it was surprising because it was May. What's speshial about May? Are there sick-warding spells around May? I asked Daddy that and he laughed and said that Muggles used to believe that faries were power-full in May. Then Mummy scolded him for confusing me.
Addie had to take Pepper-up potion which made steam come out of her ears. Me and Addie - no, Addie and I - laughed really hard, espeshially Addie after looking in the mirror. Cousin Myrtle (another of my relatives who I forgot to menshion) said that Addie laughing too much, but Aunt Julianna told her that she used to cry and she'd rather us laugh then cry. Wait, Daddy says that it's than, not then. I don't like English much. It's very annoying.
Is it bad that I don't like Cousin Myrtle much? Maddie once said that she was like a Great Aunt, I don't know why a Great Aunt should be cranky-er than a Good Aunt (shouldn't they be less cranky?) but Danny agreed with Maddie, and when those two agree they're usually (I hope I spelled that correct!) right. (That's probably why they don't agree very much.) In case you're wondering, we call our not-very-close cousins "Cousin".
But anyway, the qwestion I wanted to ask was why does Addie get sick? Danny said that she flys too fast so she caught the cold but I don't believe him. He's just sore that Addie's better at Quidditch than he is, but he won't admit it. Daddy said random stuff like "virus" and "bakteria" and Maddie said that Addie was flying under the full moon. Aunt Julianna laughed at Maddie's suggestion but did give Addie a talking-to for flying after curfew. What's curfew? We don't have curfew.
Davy's in my room and he looks like he's going to destroy my dolls. I don't like dolls - Addie and I tried that disecting thing and they had nothing but cotton, not like what Uncle Charles said there was in people - but I do like hitting them when I'm annoyed and trying to patch them up later. Mummy says I'm a regular tomboy.
So bye!
