Melanie's life

Just so you know, I'm the only girl in the house.
That means all the pink and purple things are MINE.
(Mommies don't count.)

I love to be silly and make up such nonsense
That even my oldest brother thinks I'm a bit much.

My favorite playmate is Cinderhona.
Azheronicoh is mine. Badoo-badoo.

But don't let that silliness fool you,
'Cause underneath I'm really quite smart.

And look at my talented drawing of Matthew!
See the smudges over there?
That's where he got mud all over him.
He's such a messy boy sometimes.

I'm not messy.
See how neatly I can colour?
I do it real fast, that way I have more time
for all the other things I need to do.
After all, I have three brothers now,
And I need to keep up!

It's lots of work to pick up and fetch things all day for Nathan,
but it's also great fun to tease him like crazy
when I don't feel like helping anymore.
