There is no such thing as ordinary -- Fall 1996

I laughed at Ellie and Alfred.  Even though they were only a handful of years apart, there was still an age gap.  I knew that Al was a bit more sensitive about things than Ellie thought he was.  I put a hand on his shoulder.  "Well, it's time to show Ellie up and show her how awesome you really are," I said with a smile.

I was surprised to see Maisie turn into a great big sister in a matter of a few seconds.  I grinned at the three Cattermoles.  "I would love to see that," I agreed, winking at Ellie jokingly.

I grinned at the ladies. "I will totally prove that I am good at something," I said, then I furrowed my brow. "Erm... I'll just have to figure out what that is."
