  • 00:01:03
    and I think it would have been a good
  • 00:01:06
    idea if I was the youngest too
  • 00:01:07
    I'm not quite sure why mom and dad
  • 00:01:09

  • 00:01:16
    he's called mine or cricket and he tends
  • 00:01:19
    to be utterly a nuisance
  • 00:01:21
    he's non stop whining and causing other
  • 00:01:25
    people to get themselves in trouble you
  • 00:01:28
    might think it would be a relief to come
  • 00:01:30
    to school but if you do then obviously
  • 00:01:31
    you don't know some of the people in my
  • 00:01:33
    class naming no names ie gross grap
  • 00:01:36
    hello what a show-off sometimes now
  • 00:01:41
    stare orderly into space thinking
  • 00:01:46
    utterly of nothing
  • 00:01:49
    this makes mrs. Robertson very irritated
  • 00:01:52
    I get on her nerves well I know this
  • 00:01:56
    because she's always telling me that I
  • 00:01:57
    do to be honest mrs. Wolverton is not my
  • 00:02:00
    favorite person on the planet Earth
  • 00:02:02
    unfortunately I am from Earth and she is
  • 00:02:05
    my teacher mrs. Wolverton says I have
  • 00:02:07
    got utterly not a speck of concentration
  • 00:02:10
    I'm trying to prove her wrong about this
  • 00:02:12
    by true
  • 00:02:13
    to remember to concentrate I think about
  • 00:02:15
    it all the time I'm so desperately
  • 00:02:18
    trying not to not concentrate and I say
  • 00:02:20
    to myself don't drift off like you did
  • 00:02:23
    yesterday and then I stopped thinking
  • 00:02:25
    about how it drifted off yesterday and
  • 00:02:26
    how I was thinking I must listen to mrs.
  • 00:02:28
    Warburton and all the things she's
  • 00:02:30
    telling me and then I'm wondering how
  • 00:02:33
    does all this stuff she's telling me fit
  • 00:02:36
    into my head and then I'm wondering if I
  • 00:02:39
    should have a clear out of the stuff
  • 00:02:41
    that don't need anymore
  • 00:02:43
    you know like when my dad cleared out
  • 00:02:44
    the attic except we all decided we
  • 00:02:46
    needed everything and he just had to
  • 00:02:48
    bring it all back again but maybe
  • 00:02:50
    valuable space is being taken up in my
  • 00:02:53
    head with not the important things and
  • 00:02:55
    that's why I can't concentrate because
  • 00:02:59
    of our concentration space has been used
  • 00:03:02
    up on things like elbows off the table
  • 00:03:04
    and don't pinch brother and pointless
  • 00:03:07
    not needed things which don't matter
  • 00:03:09

    more ability to apply itself and I want
  • 00:03:32
    to say you're utterly lacking in the
  • 00:03:34
    manners department mrs. Warburton and a
  • 00:03:37
    rhinoceros has got more politeness than
  • 00:03:39
    you but I don't say it because mrs.
  • 00:03:43
    Robertson is allowed to say mean things
  • 00:03:44
    about me and I'm not allowed to say them
  • 00:03:47

  • 00:03:52
