Dear Diary,

It's been six months since the Halloween dress up party and Uncle Buck is still wearing his cowboy costume, sometimes I sit and wonder what is wrong with him, I think when he was born he was dropped by his parents.My dad says that when they were little uncle Buck and him used to go to the park and Buck once tried to swim in the duck pond and that dad was the smarter brother. One day Buck, dad, mum, granny and grandpa were waiting at a bus station, when uncle Buck yelled out "Help! My parents are flesh-eating zombies and there is a slug doing a belly dance on my brother's head !" My dad yells "Shut Up, you psychopath !" When dad told me this story I thought, what was wrong with him he has big problems.

Thanks for listening Diary, you're always there for me.
Yours,
James Keely.
