Friday, This is me, Clarice Bean. I am not an only child, but I sometimes wish I was. My family is six people, which is sometimes too many. Not always, just sometimes. Mainly my dad is mostly in an office answering the phone and going, "I can't talk now, I'm up to my ears in it." Mum is always gribbling about pants on the floor and shoes on the sofa. She says, "This house doesn't clean itself you know. Who do you think does everything around here? Mr Nobody? I don't get paid to pick up your smelly socks! If I did I'd be a rich woman" etc etc non-non-stop.
