We had a math test at school today. Even though I studied for a good 1.5 hours, I still only got a C on it. It sucks, because my Dad said if I got an A, he would buy me a bag of my favorite candy, Frosted Licorice Bars. Oh, well.

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 swim 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, "In for a penny, but you can't make him drink." I mean, what does that even mean?

I just got a new pet ferret! I named it Smokey. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and mop 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.
