CHAPTER 46

JOURNAL OF SOPHIE WULTZ

I've decided that I never want to be an adult. They all suck. Even Paige, who I thought was cool, but she's not. Today she asked if I messed with her car. I didn't know what she was talking about, and I told her that, but she didn't believe me. I could tell by the way her face got all hard, and then she said that my mom was taking care of it, whatever that means.

I thought that Mom would talk to me about it, but she didn't.

They're loading her car on a tow truck right now. I don't know why she's glaring at me over it. First of all, I didn't have anything to do with it. Second, she's getting to drive the Mercedes until it's fixed so ... like, what's the problem?

I asked if we could run some drills in the backyard but she said no, that she needed to deal with car stuff first.

Is she allowed to say no? I mean, aren't we paying her to do stuff with me?

The whole situation is weird, but at least she's not permanent. I told Mom that she was being mean, and Mom told me that she'll fire her after my birthday party, so that's cool.

In the meantime, I'll try my best with her, but ... whatever. As Mom said to me the other day, our job isn't to be nice to the help.
