I wish I were Ender Wiggin.
Oh. And I was remembering:
In the summer we went to a music festival. Mom, Dad, Caroline, Kathy, Ally and I. Dad and I were walking through the tents of all of the stuff you could buy and I found a hooded jacket sweatshirt that said "Great Big Sea" on the pocket and "Something Beautiful" on the bum. When dad bought it for me he said to the saleslady, "Well, Something Beautiful for something beautiful, right?" and he winked at me. I turned bright red. All summer I couldn't stop thinking about that. We were so happy in the summer...We were like a real family. It's not going to be like that ever again. Dad hasn't winked at me or called me something beautiful since I came home. Mom is trying really hard to act normal. Caroline understands but she's a million miles away...Kathy doesn't know or care. Ally is scared of me, I think. I wonder what next summer will be like...I'll have a tiny baby to take care of, and if the rest of my family goes on vacation, they'll just leave Lesley, the baby and I behind. I'm really going to miss my childhood.
