Journal 6 - 8 Go Ask Alice

Once they got home they put up the Christmas tree and started to decorate the house. Christmas is over and Alice helped take the tree down and she felt like and adult. While she was putting Christmas stuff away she found an old Christmas card from an old messed up friend's parents and thought how weired it would be if they were related to each other. Why did she just start to feel like an adult? "Kids stop by to watch out TV which we have in the show room or just to sit around and rap." I thought that it was pretty cool when the kids would just hangout their and have rap battles. After Christmas was over her parents are planing a New Years dinner for all of her dad's coworkers. Her grandma decided to make her broccoli and chicken casserole and yeast orange rolls. The night before the New Years dinner she is wishing she could just rip out all of the things that she had done wrong when she was younger. After the party was over she didn't realize that some of her father's friends were funny and interesting. Her father even told some stories about her when she was younger and she was impressed about what she had heard. Then when the party was over Alice, her family, and her friend all helped to straiten up the house. I's she is still addicted to the drugs that she has used when she was younger? "The day after Christmas is usually a let down, but this year I enjoyed helping mother and Gran clean up and no longer in the category with children, I am one of the adults!." It's funny just thinking about how teens want to run away from their parents then when they get out their in the real world they are wanting to go back to their parents.
