of stealing it. The girl cashier told him that she saw
a woman take the hair bow. He took my mom and
me over to the camera. He was still trying to say that
I stole the hair bow. My mom and I figured out that
I was straightening up the shelves. A few days later,
my grandmother went up and spoke to the man. She
tried to explain the real story to him and that nobody
in the family was going back there to shop again. He
still would not admit that my family was right. My
mom called the corporate office a few days later. He
received some discipline.
One time there was a crime in my neighborhood. A
few days later a news reporter was coming around
the neighborhood trying to get interviews. I was out
in the front yard taking my dog for a walk. This news
reporter invited herself in my yard and did not ask my
parents’ permission and put me on camera. I did not
see any reason not to answer questions that I knew
the answer to. I usually like being on camera. My dad
came out in the front yard and saw what happened.
He tried to tell her not to put it on T.V. He even called
the news station a few hours later and asked them
to delete it. The next morning when I got out of
bed, I watched a replay of the interview on the news
website on my iPad. I was very relieved that they kept
my interview nice and short and that they left some
things out of the interview.
Sometimes people informme that I am pesky. I do not
realize that I am pesky and cannot help myself. They
usually tell me this when I ask the same questions
over and over or when I plan a party and expect an
immediate R.S.V.P. It is difficult for me to wait.
