I saw Mr. Mc_______'s hands today and they made me sick. Pure sickly untouched white. Hands that have never worked outside for a long time. I hate hands like that. I'd be embarrassed about them if they were mine. I wish it was a law that if you didn't know what you were talking about you had to shut up. It bugs me so much when I catch people at it because who knows what lies they've been telling me that I believed? Today I said I was going to do our vegetable garden this summer but I was afraid if I left for a while it would ruin, because last year it did when no one paid attention to it. Then Lolly S_____ said in a cut-downy know-it-all tone of voice, "Oh, it'll grow." As if she's ever grown a garden! What an idiotic thing to say! She's the one that's always calling everybody idiots. She hates me now, I'm not cool enough for her. Well, I hereby resign my friendship with her. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'll be civil, & do stuff w/ her when others are there too, but that's all. I hate to be asked, "Didn't you know that?" or "Haven't you ever been there?" or "You've never done that?" when I say "I didn't know that," or "I've never been there," or "I've never done that." She's just as bad as Ruth about cutting people down & she's super fakey. Oh well, they're her problems, not mine. She pretends she's so private, but she sure makes sure everyone knows about her "private" little adventures.
