Cleaning out my closet this morning, I found two Lisa Frank diaries, circa 2002, that I started at the wise old age of six and a half.
I would post the pages, but the handwriting is a miserable, illegible concoction of papyrus and very comic sans.
August 2, 2002 [6 years old, my first ever diary entry.]
[in all caps] I LOVE MOMMY AND DADDY AND ETHAN. I LOVE MY DOG.
I have never had a dog.
A recipe for “Christmas Trees.”
“engredients:
peanut butter, hersheys kisses, water, green food coloring.”
then, at the bottom, “failed dish.”

“Destiny and I made a “secret” trail out of a cemental path. I guess you could call it a sidewalk. It was made to carry fish & water from one pond to another. It is dry now so we can walk on it.”
I guess you could call it a sidewalk. I actually remember this. We made all these maps of our neighborhood. The adventure days.

“Jonah’s party was a stinkbomb. He got shower curtains and sheets. HAPPY BIRTHDAY I GUESS.”

“Hello. Today is a rainy day. School is in 3 days. I’m stuck in a messy room all day. Half because of punishment half because I want to. I’ve been watching the Ducks. Four are a fox, the other two are pretty smart though. In here I have craft supplies, books, candy, and a tea set.”

“There were no boys.”
Hope you enjoyed! 🙂
