So I was supposed to go over to my friend Tommy’s house today ‘cause he just got Pokémon Snap for his Switch, but now mom says we have to spend ALL day at the boring hospital ‘cause dad fell off the roof cleaning out our gutters.
The only cool thing is that I saw the vending machine by the nurse’s station has Raspberry Zingers and those are my favorite! I mean the chocolate ones are pretty good too, but not nearly as good as rasberry! I already had 50 cents from when Tommy dared me to eat that lightning bug, and then when the doctor came in to talk to us about dad, I got her to give me a quarter. The Zingers are only $1.50, so now I’m halfway there! If you could maybe pitch in like a quarter or even the whole 75 cents, that would be super cool.
Normally, I would ask my mom, but her and my Aunt Cheryl are just sitting in the corner crying, so it’s really hard to get their attention. The doctor told me I can’t ask my dad either because she says he’s “unresponsive”. Yeah, what else is new!
The thing is that the raspberry ones are actually kind of hard to find. Like we were at the grocery store last week and they only had the vanilla ones, which are gross and make me want to throw up all over the place. Mom got me some Fudge Rounds instead, which are okay, but I didn’t bring any with me to the hospital because everyone was being mega-jerks and rushing me around after the ambulance took dad. It would have taken me like two minutes to run back in the house and grab one, but everyone said “no”, like always. All they would talk about was how we needed to hurry and how much blood there was and stuff.
Mom did call my older brother Kevin to come home from college and he’ll usually give me some money if I ask, but I heard him say over the phone that his flight won’t get in until tomorrow. No way I can wait that long! Mom even told him she’s worried that it might be too late.
So if you wanna help feed a hungry, neglected kid I would totally appreciate it. Aunt Cheryl finally told me we could bake cookies tonight if I would calm down and sit still for five minutes. I’m trying my best, but I literally feel like I’m going to die of starvation! God, I hate my stupid family sometimes.
