7:26 PM
Well, today I had breakfast like any other day, and everything went as it normally did, only daddy would give me these strange looks every now and then. Sad and worried. Pa always looked emotionless, so it was hard to tell what was on his mind. Today, I wanted to end the awkwardness and silence by inviting someone over with a bright attitude. Uncle Al.
Thankfully, they allowed him to come over, and so Uncle Al and I played video games, told jokes and everything! Eventually, I had to take a potty break, and when I was in there, (it was about four o'clock) I heard Pa talking to Al about something. Me. I lingered a little longer in the bathroom even though I was done to try to listen, because I knew that if I came out, they'd shut up.
And again, they used big words. And again, I gave up.
So I came out, and we played a little more. We played tag, and Al caught me and tickled me like there was no tomorrow! My chest hurt from laughing so much, I thought there was not enough air in the world for me to breathe!
We had dinner, and Al left, so I sat with Pa to watch TV. He was watching some show about a time traveler in a blue telephone box. I thought it was weird, but pretty cool on the inside. I made a few comments about how I never would have guessed it was a time machine.
Later, when I brushed my teeth and was about to go to bed, daddy called me over to the bathroom. He had a thermometer in his hands, and said he had to take my temperature. I thought it was absurd to take my temperature when I didn't have a fever or anything, but I didn't question it. Regular temperature. I told him I knew I was fine, and he nodded, saying, "I know. Better to be safe than sorry.".
So I went to bed, Pa hugged me tightly and ruffled my hair and Daddy tucked me in gave a kiss on my cheek, and told me to have sweet dreams. And here I lay on my bed, unable to find sleep.
I wish they would just tell me what's wrong.
