We had to dissect an octopus intestinal tract in science class today. It was pretty disgusting, especially after I dared Bobby McClain to eat part of it and he totally did.

After school today, I went down to the corner store to buy some Peanut Celery Ropes and the new issue of Untold Tales of Frederick Malone vs. the Howling Secret, but it turned out I didn't have any money! Mom won't give me an advance on my allowance unless I depilitate my room. What am I going to do?

I just got a new pet Siamese fighting fish! I named it Mrs. Snuggleface. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and hose down him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.
