Ada (riffing with bathtoys):
Okay, this whale is actually a freshwater whale. The place it comes from is called... Freeriver. It doesn't have any leaders or anyone in charge, everyone just works together.
Me: Is that why it's called "Freeriver"
Ada: No, that's because they were all monsters in other places, and they went there to be free. Also, to everyone else "Freeriver" sounds like "Freaky". And they like that.
Ada (at 7.45AM, having discovered the terrarium got flooded and just revving up on the story-telling):
Ada: Well, never mind. We can have tadpoles in there, and then when they get older and frogs, we can make pictures of them and stick the pictures up on the terrarium with their names next to them. Names like... "Larry", and "Hopalina"

The Poems of My Own
by Ada Trouble Norton
Failed well the bees of evil's delight
Their sound kills seven men a night
---
My heart beats by the water's edge
Though no fish may come to it
---
For the blossoms blossom well
For Spring is almost here
---
I tell you Summer may
come one day
when you are here
---
The fog waves grow
across the ocean sky
The fish are birds that fly |

Ada destroys her first guitar:
It was yet another Brooklyn party. When a guitar needed demolishing, she did the honors, bringing down the house with her determined and business-like guitar smashing. |

Today was the last day of first grade. As a reminder that summer vacation is awesome and school is over - not that Ada really needed reminding, since hello? last day of school? - we got sundaes at St. Francis. Say goodbye to homework for 75 days!
Were they good sundaes? Oh yes, they were good sundaes. |

How to Marry a Princess
by Ada Trouble Norton
Chapter 1
How to Marry a Princess.
First, act like you're so happy.
Second, to make sure she likes you, fall down. if she laughs, say, "Yes, that IS funny." If she doesn't, well, if she helps you, then say, "You are so nice." Then give her a flower. Then kiss her. Then hug her. Then pick her up and bow her down like a prince did. Then she will like you. Act like you're gonna save her whenever she doesn't feel safe.
Before the person tells the story about the marriage thing, pick her up and wait until the person tells the story. After that, go into your room and act like you're getting ready for a party. The end.
Chapter 2
How to Make the Princess Happy.
First, act like she's a goddess. Second, while you're acting like she's a goddess, don't forget to feed her. Also, do everything for the princess except fold the towels. Princesses are very good at folding towels. And let her take care of the garden too. Princesses like gardens.
Chapter 3
How to Rescue a Princess
First, cover yourself in armor because you don't know what kind of weapon the thing that caught your princess might have, and , don't forget to bring a sword and shields, and don't forget to bring a horse and an extra one for the princess to ride on. And if you can't get any horses, exercise lots so you can pick up the princess.
First kill the beast before rescuing the princess. Sneaking in doesn't always work. The princess will be so happy once you rescue her. Do not make her disappointed. Carry the princess all the way back to the house. Don't forget, don't drop her and not say sorry. That's what princesses mainly don't like.
Chapter 4.
How to Make a Princess happy.
First, buy her some pets. Ask her which kind of pet before buying her some pets. Second, decorate her room better than yours. Third, give her lots of flowers that smell good. And give the ugly ones to yourself.
Even if one looks pretty but smells bad, do not put it in her room. Also, don't forget to give her a dress every day.
Chapter 5
How to not Embarrass a Princess
First, do not drop her and laugh. Second, do not laugh when she is hurt. Third, well, basically, just don't annoy her.
Chapter 6
How to Clean up a Princess's Room
First, act like you're holding the shiny things like you're holding a trophy and bowing down to give the trophy to the person who won it. Then put all the flowers and stuff, use them like you're marrying a princess that minute. Third well basically clean up her room and don't forget, don't do it like a kid.
The End. |
