Here is a page from The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything). Write and tell me when you feel grown up. You can write a list of times or write a story about yourself or a diary page, as the girl in the book did. I’ll be sending a Truth necklace to one of the girls who share. I hope it will be you!

Here’s what I do all by myself. I catch the bus two blocks from my house and go downtown. I’m not afraid. My mother said to sit near the driver, and I do. I talk to him sometimes. Other times I read.

Today, going downtown, I read the saddest part of “Little House on the Prairie”. The Ingalls’ dog turned around three times and then lay down in his bed and died. I cried on the bus. I was glad I had a handkerchief with me. The driver asked if I was OK, and I told him the book made me sad because the dog died. He smiled in a kind way.

When I got downtown I bought some beautiful lace for a new doll’s dress I am making, and I got an ice cream sundae in the 5 and 10. This time I got marshmallow sauce instead of whipped cream. It’s the same price, and I thought it would be a nice change. And it was!

Next I looked at make-up. The 5 and 10 has two aisles just filled with lipsticks, mascara, nail polish, and lots of other things for women. I had such a good time. I never get bored.

A store like a 5 and 10 is great, ‘cause if I get tired in one section I can always find another section to wander around in. And they have a bathroom, which is very important.

Then I waited for the bus to come home, and when it came, guess what? It was the same driver! I was so happy. I sat near him again.

I’m so glad I can do things by my self. I feel so grown up.

Got something to say?
