Brooklyn's Battles

by Rusty Tater Tot

Mary Brooklyn Holmes, daughter of Sherlock and Molly Holmes, has kept a journal of her life ever since she was seven years old. She's never really looked over it, especially not the beginning, as she always thought the present much more interesting than her tragedy-filled past. One day, however, that all changes. SEQUEL TO "The Story Of Molly Hooper And Sherlock Holmes"!

its been a long time scince I wrote. its been three hole days! me and Matthew went to visit mommys grave today, and uncle mikeroft took us to get ice cream. we've been learning a lot in school. I have a journal now, and daddy reads it every day and makes corecshuns. he says that I'm real smart for a six year old! uncle mikeroft says that when daddy was six, daddy had already learned all the grammar stuff and spelling and things like that. Matthew knows a lot about stuff like that too because he reads so much. oh yeah! we're also learning about words like yours and to! did you know there are three different spellings of to? I didnt! there's to, two, and too! to is used for stuff like daddy gave the ball to Matthew, and two is used for stuff like there are two puppies, and too is used for stuff like oh you like ice cream? I do too!

and we're still doing punctuation and spelling so I'm learning all about that! daddy says real soon I'll get into the habit of using proper punctuation and spelling all the time! we're also learning cursive! Matthew already knows how to use it really well but it's kinda hard for me 'cause it makes my hand hurt. I can rite write my whole name in cursive!

daddy says it's really good seeing as I'm only six, but Matthews is really really good! I'm going to get him to rite write his name down, so just a second.

Matthew Scott Holmes

isn't that real good? I wish I was Matthew 'cause then I'd be smart and good at handriting and all that stuff. the good thing about being me is Im really pretty, and everyone else thinks so too and Matthew cant be pretty because he's a boy. mrs Hudson says that he's hansome but I dont really think so, I think he's weird. his hair is to curly for a boy. my hair is kinda wavy but I think it's getting strater stray straighter every day, and in my baby pictures my hair is really curly. in the pictures my mommys hair is the only one that's straight because mine and Matthews and daddys were all really curly. mommy is really pretty so if I have straight hair I'll be happy because mommy is so pretty.

Author's Note:

I'm really sad about the formatting here because I have what is absolutely the most adorable font ever - for both Matthew and Brooklyn.
