Jamie: Dear Diary, my mom said that I could have a birthday party.
Mom: Jamie, you can have a party.
Jamie: Right, just like that. So now diary I have to figure out who I am going to invite to my party. Because mom said that I can only have-
Mom: Jamie, don’t get crazy with the invitation list. I was thinking five or six of your closest girlfriends.
Jamie: MOM! Only inviting “girlfriends” to a birthday party is something that kids do. This birthday is a mild stone of my life.
Mom: MILEstone.
Jamie: That’s what I said MILDstone.
Mom: No, there is no “D” in the word. It is spelled M-I-L-E-stone.
Jamie: See diary this is what I deal with when talking to my mom. When you mother is a teacher it’s like I never come home from school she’s always here.
Diary: Jamie, you have to get your mom to let you invite more people. Five or six girls are hardly a celebration.
Jamie: I know Diary, I know. So I went with the old “But mom it is my thirteenth birthday. You said it yourself that it is a MILEstone and you can’t celebrate one of those with only five or six girls.
Mom: Okay Jamie. How many people would you like to invite? (She freezes)
Jamie: So this is my big moment. My time to shine. My plea for the day. (Unfreezes mom) Mom I think it only fair that I have at least forty-
Mom: Ten-
Jamie: Thirty-
Mom: Twenty-
Jamie: DEAL! Now who should I invite?????
Jamie: Dear Diary, today at school I am going to make my list of people to invite for my party. I’m going to take you with me for moral support.
Diary: Okay Jamie, I have your back.
(Jamie walks down the hall to her locker)
Lucas: Hey Jamie I heard that you were having a party for your birthday, can I come?
Jamie: How did you hear about that?
Lucas: (Whispers) Your Diary and my Journal are BFF’s and she told him. So last night when I was in my bath he told me that she told him that you’re super cool mom said that you could have a birthday bash.
