Mom made spareribs for dinner again. Yuck! She said I couldn't go play Resident Pirate 12 until I'd cleaned my plate, so I had to choke it down. When I grow up I'm just gonna eat Crunchy Licorice Bars for every meal!

Today we were sitting around the fort and Donny said we should do a raid on the fort that the kids from the other side of town made. It sounded like a good idea until Marty pointed out that Big Ollie is in their gang. That took the wind out of our sails pretty quick! That guy is HUGE, and I bet he has to shave like twice a day. So we built an alligator-filled moat in case they decide to raid us.
