Dear diary,

I wonder if I have superpowers? That would be nice. Then I could fight evil with the laser vision of my buck teeth. That would be nice. 

I am still wondering if you taste like ice cream or something. I am going to check. Maybe you sprouted milk during the night.

You didn’t.

Love,

Nevvy

Dear diary,

Have you ever noticed how ‘diary’ looks a lot like ‘dairy?’ Maybe you taste like milk... I am gonna see. 

You taste disgusting.

Love,

Nevvy

Dear diary,

I got a toad. His name is Trevor. I hope I don’t lose him or Gran will have yet another reason not to love me.

Love,

Dear diary,

Today is my birthday. I turned eleven. Even the vulture on Gran’s hat seems happy. I got a letter to Hogwarts. I guess that is a good thing. You know, I might be able to make my grandmother love me. But that is wishful thinking.

I now have to go and spend our scarce money on supplies to aid me in my failure at yet another thing. Maybe I will get an owl. I’d like an owl.

Love,

Nevvy
