If you live on Surrey Street, youre either a HILL kid or a NON-hill kid, and there's no switching sides.
There's a kid named Trevor Nix who lived on the hill until last summer, which is when his family moved to a bigger house at the bottom of the street.
But the kids down there still consider Trevor a HILL person, so they won't let him play on the street. Us hill kids think of him as a traitor for moving and we won't let him sledge in the winter. So now Trevor is basically stuck indoors year-round.
There's a lot of bad blood between the Upper Surrey Street kids and the Lower Surrey Street kids, awhich is why we can't be friends. But whenever I try to explain the situation to Mom she just doesn't get it.
In fact, NONE of the moms on our street do. They're all friends with each other, and they have no CLUE about whats REALLY going on.
Lately, though, things have heen pretty calm on our street. Us hill kids keep to OUR side, and the other guys keep to THEIRS. But if sameone does something Stupid this whole place is gonna BLOW.
Sunday
The temperature dropped about ten degrees over
the weekend, so today my family was out looking for our pet pig.
For the Christmas holidays, my family went away. and we left the pig in a kennel. But I guess the pig thought it should've come WITH us, and it wasn't too happy about being left behind.
When we got back HOME, the pig let us know how it felt about not being included on our family holiday.
After a few days of the pig acting out, Dad decided enough was enough and he sent it to "obedience school". But the next morning we got a call from the lady who runs the place, and she said our gig ESCAPED.
Weve been putting up signs asking for help finding our lost pig ever since. But that thing is SMART, so I don't think it’s LOST. It just doesn't want to be FOUND.
I figure the pig is probably off HIBERNATING somewhere. Mom says pigs don't do that, but, if you ask me, I think they SHOULD.
If I was an animal, that’s EXACTLY what I'D be doing right now. On the last day of the autumn, I think everyone should get into their pyjamas and check out until the spring.
When I was younger, I sctually TRIED to hibernate, but it didn't work.
