Tuesday 10
Dear Dumb Diary,
Colette sat with us at luch today. The name Colette is French, so I guess I wasn't suprised to see her eating FRENCH fries. I asked her if she had French toast for breakfast and then almast immediately regretted it becaouse she looked at me like I took at my little cousin when I see him putting something in his nose.
Fortunately, Sam was there and she is really good at conversation.
"So, what is it that you're afther?" Sam asked, in what might not have been her nest conversational effort to date.
"After?" Colette said with innocent cuteness. I had to explain how Sam is just naturally suspicious of everybody because of her mean older brothers. Collette just smiled really big and said, "Oh, I know something about getting evrn with mean older brothers."
I am not a little sister, so I don't speak the language these two were talking, but I managed to pick up bits and pieces of what Colette was telling Sam, like:
"Loop the rope once only. Any more then that, and you could send then to the emergency room."
"Use spoiled cat food. It's the worst, and don't get any on your hands. It could blind you."
And....
"Make sure they understand that if they tell the police, it will be way worse next time."
Sam took notes that olled better than any she had ever taken before, and when Colette left, she said, "That may be the finest little sister that has ever lived. This is a level of treachery and payback that I never even imagined."
Sam looked a litter like Aunt Clover did the day she told me she was engaged.
