alright you guys… i’m ready to let you see ONE thing i’ve written. and the only reason i’m even sharing this is because my friend Tiffany decided to read it aloud to people today… thanks, Fanny.
bear in mind that this is meant for children =) also, this particular piece would be contained in a collection of stories, as opposed to being its own book.
my inspiration behind this? well, it’s how i felt this morning…
An Unpretty Day
Today I don’t feel pretty
Today I don’t feel cute
My hair’s a mess, I hate my dress
And I lost my left, pink boot
It’s raining out and smells like trout
And my umbrella bit the dust
And the washing machine devoured my ring
And my bicycle turned to rust!
There’s a zit on my nose, a run in my hose
And my blouse got caught in my zipper
And as I walked down the stairs, I was caught unawares
And tripped on my brother’s sea flipper!
I skinned my knee, I broke a nail
Oh the agony, just throw me in jail!
And allow me no visitors -I couldn’t bear them to see
How messy and clumsy and unpretty I can be!

I hope your day is/was magical and not unpretty!
