dear kitty,
i can''t tell you how i feel. one minute i''m longing for peace and quiet, and the next for a little fun. we''ve forgotten how tough -- i mean,ughing so hard you can t stop.
this morning i had "the giggles"; you know, the kind we used to have at school. margot and i were giggling like real teenagers.
of course, she asked me why i''d said that, and we told her about the pin she''d overlooked. she immediately assumed her haughtiest expression and said, "you''re a fine one to talk. when you''re sewing, the entire floor is covered with pins. and look, you''ve left the manicure set lying around again. you never put that away either!"
i said i hadn''t used it, and margot backed me up, since she was the guilty party.
mother went on talking about how messy i was until i got fed up and said, rather curtly, "i wasn''t even the one who said you were careless. i''m always getting med for other people''s mistakes!"
mother fell silent, and less than a minuteter i was obliged to kiss her good-night. this incident may not have been very important, but these days everything gets on my nerves.
