My mom says I'm playing too many video games and getting too fat. So now when I get home from school, I have to jump up and down for an hour before she'll let me in the house. I told her that all of my friends are way fatter than I am, and you know what she said? She said, "When the going gets tough, cry and you cry alone." I mean, what does that even mean?

Yesterday we went exploring in the old condemned mineshaft over by Old Man Chambers's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for trespassing, but we managed to grab a neat silver knife before we left.
