The Doofus Meter
Dear Diary,
Sometimes Kim is silly. It’s a good thing.
We will be walking and Doobins will say, “Where did Doobins and Sparkle Girl go?” when we’re right behind him. Kim will look around and pretend that he doesn’t see us. Then we will grab hold of his shirt and he will spin really fast and we try to stay behind him.
Sometimes he will say something silly like “Rutabaga!” I never ate a rutabaga. Neither has he. Momma has never eaten a rutabaga either but she makes really good spaghetti squash. I like it with lots of butter and salt.
Kim is good at making silly faces. Sometimes he won’t stop being silly and then we say he is a doofus.
I made a Doofus Meter and, when he is being really, really silly, I get out the Doofus Meter and measure his doofusness.
I like Kim even when he is being a doofus. He likes me no matter what, too.
Signed,
Sparkle Girl
