i never knew soda would clean clothes. miss jenny told me it can be used for cooking too, and I told her i want to cook too. she says that she will if i do better at my talking and writing. abi marquez was on TV while i was waiting for food. she was in america like daddy had. i asked him about it and he said it’s a cold and wonderful place. when he worked there, he met many good people and tall people. i asked if i can be there with him when he goes back. he said next time because you will freeze to death and he just laughed as mama came home. i was scared when daddy said i’ll freeze when i go to america. she always kisses him on the lips and i always hated the sound it makes. she had a bag full of many things and one of them was baking soda. mama told miss jenny it’s for me when i make a mess. so, i want to give abi marquez baking soda so she won’t make messes like me [[back to list->Listproper]]

Vegetables are hard to spell and rember. long words i cant do. but miss jenny said they’re good for me, so she made me try bokchoy. they were not bad and when mama saw me eat she went to tell daddy about it. i stopped eating because her happy noise make me not feel good. miss jenny said its okay to not eat if i dont want to, but i wanted to tell her no. abi marquez eats them all the time so i should too. i just dont like the way mama and daddy look at me when i do. so i want to give abi marquez Vegetables for her to eat when she wants to.

i love fish! they are cute and they also tase good. my favorite is the tilapia because fry tilapia is delshoes. miss jenny came to the house again today with more books to read. when she saw me eating tilapia she said she wanted some but when i gave a bit to her, mama stopped me and she said i didn't wash my hands yet. miss jenny said my hands are clean and she's right because i washed my hands already, but mama said she will cook her lunch later. abi marquez always washes her hands so why can't i? miss jenny also said sorry for being late because she had classes and had other kids like me. i asked how many and she said maybe 40. i was so surprised she has 40 kids like me and i asked if they eat tilapia like me. she laughed and said not all because some kids don't like fish. i asked her why and she taught me lots of things. today it was about growing a plant and i wonder if i can grow fish with mama later before she left she looked sad when she was talking with daddy. i think she took money when he gave her some and said that she'll do her best with me. for abi marquez, fish because she cooks lots of dishes with it. and every time she makes a fish dish, it's always something new [[back to list->Listproper]]

miss jenny forgot her pen when she came to the house yestirday mama was angry that i took it from her, but i didn't steal it. daddy said it's okay to make mistakes so i said "okay" and gave the pen back to her when she came today. miss jenny said "oh you can use it if you want, sorry for leaving it" but i said sorry too because i took the pen. abi marquez always forgets stuff too, so i didn't mind it i think miss jenny didn't want to talk to mama and daddy that time because she sounds like she wanted to cry at them. i think she said i need time and that mama and daddy were being horse on me. she told me to use her pen to write a list of ten things i want to give abi marquez when i meet her, and why. it's true because i always talk about her to miss jenny. i love abi marquez because i want to cook things like her and be as pretty as her. when i meet her, i will give her the pen miss jenny gave me, because she's my roll model [[back to list->Listproper]]

every time i was quiet daddy always bought me chuckie. and because i love chocolate he gives me chuckie too. but he gets mad when i say a lot of things with chuckie so mama has been making my dad not buy chuckie anymore. i didn't want to make them both mad so when i want chuckie i always stayed quiet. miss jenny was sick so mama helped me with reading and writing. when she saw this list she asked if miss jenny made me do this and i said yes, and she looked at daddy. her eyes didn't look happy. she said "you have to stop writing this list because it won't make you smart" and i asked why and she said "because it's for us" so i just said okay. daddy bought me chuckie again that night i like this list so i will keep writing on it even if mama doesn't want me to. i want to give abi marquez chuckie because i want her to talk more. abi marquez talking makes me happy [[back to list->Listproper]]

i don't like mikmik because it tastes like dust. the other kids outside do and some of them give me mikmik even though i don't like it. some of them laugh when they do and some of them give me mikmik because they think i like them. so i asked my mom if i can buy two mikmik because there was someone that didn't know what mikmik was and i wanted to give him one. she said okay but she didn't sound sure. i wonder if abi marquez likes these things i went outside while the other kids were playing and gave the one sitting down mikmik. i ate the other mikmik and when i saw him eat it he spat it out too. he laughed and i laughed. i don't know if abi marquez would like it, but i'm giving two mikmik for her anyway to give to a friend if she wants to [[back to list->Listproper]]

when dad goes to work first we spin plates before eating. mama says its for good luck on the way out miss jenny came and i gave her a hug because i missed her. mama was watching so she dragged me away and said sorry to miss jenny. i don't know what i did wrong but abi marquez's mom came on TV and hugged her so why can't i? miss jenny didn't mind so she did what we always do. she told me i was em proo ving and she was prowed of me for getting a good score on my english. she was happy and i was happy too, so i went to give her a plate that i helped my mom clean. she said thank you and i was very happy but when she was leaving mama came to miss jenny and took the plate away from her. i cried and yelled and said that's for miss jenny but she didn't look at me and pushed me away. i said it's a giff but she said "plates are not giffs" and i cried when i meet abi marquez i will give her a plate because it's a giff and she always uses lots of plates [[back to list->Listproper]]

it was hot outside but it got cold when we went to a docktor. the docktor was weird because she sounds like miss jenny but her eyes were scary. we did lots of things with her and she kept asking me a lot of things, but i didn't like her so i was quiet. but daddy was making me want to talk, and he'll buy me chuckie if i do. i'm not sure what to do because he gives me chuckie when i'm quiet but he wants me to talk today. i don't know what happened next but my mom was crying when the docktor told her something and gave her a paper. she said that i'm not going to be normal anymore so i asked what that means but because she was crying i was crying too. she didn't look at me when we went home. i wonder if abi marquez cries for things like i do too. daddy bought fishball to me because i was good to the docktor. i love fish so i ate it, and i feel better. i want abi marquez to have fishball so that she feels better when she cries too [[back to list->Listproper]]

miss jenny told me she's gonna leave tomorrow. i asked what she means and she said she won't see me ever again. i asked why and she said something about moving to a pravins. she hugged me while i cried and she told me to keep the list and her pen because it's for me and not for anyone. she gave me a small star thing that feels like paper and she told me i was the best kid she ever had. she also told me that when i grow up i will be like abi marquez, and that made me really happy i'm giving the star to abi marquez because... i don't know i just want to give it to her [[back to list->Listproper]]

chocolate is the only long word i can spell. cadbury is my mama's least favorite, so she gives them to me. if she doesn't like them at all why does daddy give them to her anyway? chocolate gives me comfort when miss jenny is helping me read and write. she hides them when i really want some, and only once i finish my english and filipino books then i can have a bite. she tells me "too much sugar will kill you" and i believed her. i told my dad "too much sugar will kill you" like how she says it. he nearly spits coke and i laughed at him and he got mad, but he tells me "miss jenny is lying to you so eat as much chocolate as you can" and he laughed back. he was laughing so i laughed back at him, but he didn't laugh again when i did the third time. later that night miss jenny talked to me while i was reading she asked if i was okay. i said i'm okay and asked if she is okay too. she said "your mama and papa have been okay with you right?" and i said "i think so" i don't want miss jenny to leave. so before i went to bed she gave me one last piece of the cadbury. abi marquez needs chocolate too so i want to give them to her because she needs it too like how miss jenny needs chocolate too [[back to list->Listproper]]
