Preview: Hear it

Im Lucy Rose, and heres the thing about 4th that grade is busy like you cant believe! Especially if you are a person who is already PLENTY busy on account of having RESPONSIBILITIES and I am that kind exactly. I am already collecting a vocabulary, plus I have to think up new palindromes and now I have to do the most PU thing which is the MULTIPLICATION tables, which I would say is a thing I hate, if I was allowed to say hate, which I am not. PLUS I have to do the greatest thing and that is be in the play of Annie and Im sure I will get to be Annie because 1. I have red hair and 2. if I dont I will absolutely perish to death. PLUS there is another thing I have to do absolutely constantly and that is what my mom calls eavesdropping but I call LISTENING VERY QUIETLY SO I CAN KNOW THINGS. But that turns out to be halfway sickening because now I know a thing about my mom and its that she has a FRIEND that is a MAN and I think they are having DATES. That makes me feel like Im horrified to pieces and part of me doesnt want to know a single more thing but the other part does because how else can I figure out how to keep those 2 apart? And here is the thing about that it can make a girl exhausted. From the Hardcover edition.
