When I was a little kid, I never ate dirt. I also never ate paste, bugs, or any other things little kids eat. I didn’t have any friends in preschool, and that might be why. But I was fine with it. While all of the other kids were eating dirt, I was playing Harry Potter all by myself, being all of the characters. I didn’t need those chubby little dirt-eaters, I could find the Sorcerer's Stone all by myself.

This is a monologue I wrote for drama class. I think it was supposed to be about Earth Day, but I'm a rebel.
