Yesterday, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail. It was about the shooting star I wished on last week. He “granted my wish” by sending me a dracaena. I’m not sure that’s quite what I wished for, but a free gift is a free gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pippy was talking about the Bug-Off that’s coming up on Sunday. She told me she has a bite-proof dress that (somehow?) keeps the bugs from biting her.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pippy:
Tell me your secret. Mosquitos keep biting me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Maple was finally over her cold that she’s had for the past couple weeks. She thanked me for the medicine by giving me a watermelon table. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Maple:
I’m glad you’re not feeling melon-choly now!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When I visited Whitney, I found a pack of wolves inside her house. \ud83d\ude09 It was her birthday, and she was celebrating with Chief.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Whitney:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For a gift, I gave her the Nintendo bench that I bought from Pippy on the last Flea Market day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Whitney:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I played again tonight, and Derwin told me one of his darkest secrets: He likes clothes with fringes! \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Derwin:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Whitney wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a bell cricket first, and I actually agreed to the battle. Whitney assured me that she wouldn’t lose to a loser like me. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Whitney:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So I went around looking for crickets, and there were plenty of them. Unfortunately, the vast majority were regular crickets, not bell crickets! After catching several of the wrong ones, I had to hunt by sound and listen for the different call of the bell crickets. It took me seven and a half minutes, but I finally caught one!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"I<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

By that point, I was afraid Whitney would’ve already caught one. (Or at least claimed<\/em> to.) But fortunately, she didn’t. I gave her the bug, and she handed over a parlor wall as my prize for winning. But she wasn’t happy about losing to me. Too bad, wolf girl.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Whitney:
Excuses, excuses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After selling the remaining crickets and mosquitos in my pockets, I went to town hall. There, I found a cabana lamp in the recycle bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry next week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
