2. Oops! Diary - 001.

Tuesday, March. Sunny
My Family
Another ordinary day, the kind of day you know you'll forget. I'm waiting for Dad to come home so he can give me a hand with my English homework. He majored in English in university, but his real passions are drawing and sports. He spends a lot of his free time drawing. It helps him organize his thoughts, he says.
When he's hungry, though, nothing can keep him organized. He gets grumpy about little things, and for some reason it makes him mad if you point out that he hasn't eaten. Mom is more logical. She's got the kind of brain that just sucks up facts, like a sponge. No matter what I talk about, she knows something about it. She's also raelly good at the piano. I wish I could remember things like Mom, but I think I'm more like Dad.
As for my little brother, I don't know who he's more like. He still thinks that picking his nose and reading comics are the two most interesting things in the world. Maybe he's an alien. 

Pink Socks
I slept in and was in a rush to get dressed this morning. I managed to put on a pair of my mom's socks without thinking. They're bright salmon-pink. I didn't realize I was wearing them because my shoes completely covered them.
It was Track and Field Day today, but I wasn't chosen to run for anything. I was looking around when I heard my captain call my name. He wanted me to do the high jump. I'd never high-jumped before, but I said I'd give it a shot. As it turns out, I'm a pretty good jumper. The bar got higher higher, but I managed to make it to the very last round. One peg higher and I'd set a school record. 
The captain told me to take my shoes off so I could get a better grip. As soon as I started I realized which socks I was wearing. I whipped off my shoes and ran for the bar before anyone could get a good look at my feet. I exploded into the air. My body cleared the crossbar. Then I felt the tip of my stupid pink socks clip it. The crossbar fell off its pegs. I didn't set a record, and I got a new nickname, all at once. Now I'm "Pink Socks" Great.
