! then l skinned my nose something fierce on
| old Sraphophone horn. bIed awful.
Mother wanted me to take a nap this aft
ernocn and did and didn't cry about it or
anything. l would of. though, if we hadn't
been going to Longfellow school to see the
show. We went and gee, it was fun. They

Jones and then she laughed.
But it amt funny to have your hair in your
eyes and then have your mother laugh at you
| don't see why l cant have a haircut like
Mr.. Jones then / wouldn't have hair to get
in my eyes. l bet he likes it cause he don't
get hair in his eyes. l don't think Mr. Fisher
gets hair in his eyes either. Dad went away
going to be in at Franklin school Nov 4 He

to he people could make 'rangements to 20
somewhere else that night.
