Travis' Diary

     "Gaaaaalleeeee"! This week's been right crazy! That check come for Grandmama and it had the right number of zeros- four of em! She sure was rich! If I ever got a check with so many zeros I'd go out and buy myself some new marbles! I'd be so happy to be rich, but Grandmama "don't want to be rich" and I don't know why not. Don't everybody want to be rich?
     Grandmama went and spent some of her dollars on a new house- gaallee a house- for all of us! Our very own house! I can't hardly wait to see it! Maybe I'll have my own bed with a mattress and everything! And Grandmama will have a garden and she can wear that nice hat I bought her. And maybe all them grown-ups will stop with their yelling and fighting and be happy now that we have a house!
     Mama says I'm goin to be a big brother- she's havin a baby! Gaalee! I wonder if that baby is gonna be a boy or a girl? They better not love it better than me. Where do babies come from, anyways? I think I'll go ask Mama right now.
