I still have to hose down the chicken coop to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is Alternate-Universe Rock Crypt -- I can't believe the stuff he gets up to every month!

Yesterday I dared Joey Hammond to throw a rock at Old Mr. McDurkee's house. I didn't think he'd do it, but he totally did! The old man came running out in a dirty old bathrobe, waving his cane and yelling. I didn't really hear what he said because I was running too hard, but it sounded like "Arrrrgh blargle blargle blargle!" It was really scary, I thought he was gonna kill us! He isn't a very fast runner though.
