We're weird

Everyone has a group. My group is the 2 girls in my primary class. It's hard to have a group when you live out in the middle of nowhere and you are home schooled. But my favorite group is with my wonderful sisters. Most things my sisters and I do, we do together--stuff like the Wizard of Oz and basketball. But most things we do together we don't know anyone else or we do no someone but not really well.
One time when I went to my friend Naomi's house, she told me about a band she made up called the triple W's (Wacky Wierd-o's from Wells). I loved this so I adopted it and now me and my sisters are The Triple W's. At play practise for the Wizard of Oz when everyone is talking about events in Elko, we smile to ourselves and think, "We're the Wacky Weirdos from Wells, so ha."
2 days ago, Liberty and I went to our first basketball practice in Wells. We found out we're not in this group either, the group with the skinny, fast, little athletic 4th graders. We don't fit in. SO on the way home we made up a new name. We're now not only the Wacky Weird-o's frome Wells; we are also the Silly Sisters From Starr Vally.
My sisters and I may not fit in with the girls from Elko. We may not fit in with some of the girls from Wells, but that's not important. I fit in with the best group of all--a group who will never move and always be my friends, a group where we can all be weird together. My group is my sisters.

  2. This is my favorite post, Desi. I'm so glad that my kids have you and your sisters to look up to.
