Diary of an Almost Cool Witch, Book 1 Quotes

“He started by looking at my sister and me, “Girls, do you enjoy sharing the one bedroom?” What a question to ask, of course we don’t! I replied first, “Well, I suppose it is okay if you don’t mind being woken up by a snoring hippopotamus every night.” Lindy hit me and replied in a sarcastic tone, “Yeah Dad it’s great, especially when SOMEONE keeps wearing your undies because they can’t work out which drawers belong to them!” How dare she accuse me of wearing her underwear, GROSS! “I DO NOT!” I yelled across the table. We both stood up and a war broke out across the dining table. Yelling and screaming at each other until Dad whistled loudly. “You girls are saying that sharing a bedroom isn’t working, is that right?” he asked. “Yes, I mean no, I mean...” I tried to explain, tying my tongue into a knot. And then my sister interrupted (she always talks over me), “NO Dad, sharing a bedroom isn’t working!” Dad just smirked and Mom raised her eyebrows. “I think I have solved our small house problem,” Dad smiled and then continued, “I’ve got some great news.” Mom stood, “Well tell us, what is it?”
