PART LXI
Grownupism!
1Day, When I Grow Up!

So as usual, I wuz sittin' an' stinkin' 'bout skool an' weather an' me an' ev'rythin' connected with these reel important things!
I feel the weather turnin' cold an' see the leaves gittin' red an' brown an' shriviled an' old an' fallin' down an' it kinda reminds me of my granma.
Sumtimes she's not feelin' so well an' she kinda gits outta breath an' doesn't have the time to play with me an' talk to me like she used too, when I wuz a little kid!?
Mama explained to me that, "grandmother is getting older and she still loves you very much. As much as when you were younger, but she doesn't have the strength and energy like she did when she was younger and so she has to rest more and take care of her health.
So you have to be patient with your grandmother and help provide the care for her, just as she provided care for you, when you were younger and still cares for you today, as best she can!"
Wow, I feel like I havta do more for granma, but I'm not sure wut I'm s'posed to do?
I'm already nice to her an' we're both gittin' older, so we're kinda even on that point!
But OK, I guess she's in fronta me in the age race!
But that's only, 'cause she wuz here before me, so she's the leader, naturly!
Maybe me, granma an' the leaves are all in this stuff together an' each of us is doin' stuff, as good as we can, as time is goin' by!
Wow, that's sum heavy thinkin' stuff an' kinda has poetry in it, too! So maybe I kin use this poetry stuff with the dragon-teecher at the dungeon skool an' make the time go faster in that place, with that dragon-teecher person?
Plus, maybe I kin git sum extra credit for my ideas?
Yeah, that oughta work!
Man, all this sittin' an' stinkin' an' poetryizin' is exhaustin' an' makes me sleepy.
So, I'm gonna say
G'nite
I luv you
G'nite.

PART LXI
Erwachsensein!
Eines Tages, wenn ich erwachsen werde!

Also, wie üblich war ich am Sitz'n und Stink'n üba die Schule und das Wetter und mich und alles, was mit diesen wirklich wichtigen Sachen was zu tun hat!
Ich merk, dass das Wetter kalt wird, und seh, wie die Blätter rot werd'n und braun und schrumpelig und alt und runter fall'n, und irgendwie erinnert mich das an meine Oma.
Manchma' geht es ihr nich' so gut und sie bekommt irgendwie schlecht Luft und hat keine Zeit, um mit mir zu spiel'n und zu red'n, wie sie es sonst getan hat, als ich ein kleines Kind war?
Mama erklärte mir: "Oma wird älter und sie liebt dich immer noch sehr. Genauso viel wie in der Zeit, als du jünger warst, aber sie hat nicht die Kraft und Energie, die sie hatte, als sie jünger war, und deswegen muss sie sich mehr ausruhen und auf ihre Gesundheit achten.
Also solltest du mit deiner Oma Geduld haben und dabei helfen, dass für sie gesorgt wird, genauso wie sie sich um dich gekümmert hat, als du jünger warst, und sich heute noch um dich kümmert, so gut sie kann!"
Wow, ich merk, dass ich mehr für Oma tun muss, aber ich bin mir nich' sicher, was ich tun soll?
Ich bin schon nett zu ihr und wir werd'n beide älter, also sind wir an dem Punkt irgendwie gleich!
Aber, okay, ich denk ma', in dem Rennen ums Alter is' sie mir voraus!
Aber das auch nur, weil sie vor mir hier war, also is' sie in Führung, 'türlich!
Vielleicht steck'n ich, Oma und die Blätter in dieser Sache zusammen drin und jeder von uns macht was, so gut wir könn'n, während die Zeit vageht!
Wow, das is' echt schweres Zeugs zum Nachdenk'n und hat irgendwie auch was poetisches! So, vielleicht kann ich diesen Poetenkram bei der Drachenlehrerin in der Kerkerschule gebrauch'n und mach, dass die Zeit schneller vageht an diesem Ort mit dieser Person von Drachenlehrerin?
Und, vielleicht bekomm ich 'n paar Extrapunkte für meine Ideen?
Ja, das sollte funktionier'n!
Mann, dieses ganze Sitz'n und Stink'n und Poesier'n is' anstrengend und macht mich müde.
Also sag ich
'Nacht
Hab euch lieb'
'Nacht.
