Mercury is the second smallest planet in our solar system, said the book with the big picture of the grey circle. But I was having trouble reading my favorite book. I was thinking about names.


Jessica and Maria and Katie and Amy and Becca and Luisa. They all got nice normal names that teachers didn't have to ask how to spell. Mom didn't give me a nice normal name though like them. Eeeee leck turr uhh. Eel leck tra. They're cold and slimy and look funny. Eeelick tra 's not a nice name.


I got real tired of spelling it when all the new teachers kept asking today. ee ell ee kay tee arr ay, I told Mr Johnson but he said he didn't hear me. So I said it again. He just smiled like he was mad at me and asked the other kids to quiet down and said one more time please.


EE ELL EE KAY TEE ARR AY I said and I didn't wanna yell but I had to be real loud and that made every get real quiet but I could hear them whispering laughing cause its a stupid name.


Thank you Elektra said Mr Johnson and he kept going but I didn't hear whose name he said next cause I was thinking about not being there and being in bed here instead or at my job.


It is the closest planet to the sun, but it’s actually not the hottest.


I don't have a job. Mom has a job. That's why she's gone so much and when she comes back she's always tired and smells funny so she goes to sleep. That's ok though. She's not always really nice. I asked her could we get a pizza for dinner and she smiled like she was mad at me and said we had leftovers at home. Yeah right.


Along with Venus, Earth, and Mars, Mercury is one of the rocky planets.


She's sleeping now like always and my tummy was making noise so I grabbed the little cup that wasn't clear anymore but that made it easy to hang on to. I moved the dishes out of the way real quiet and filled the cup up before I looked in the fridge. No leftovers. But there was jelly still so I grabbed that.


Jobs seem weird. No one likes doing their job. Mom hates her job. None of the teachers at school seem like they're happy about their jobs. But everyone's gotta have one. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I don't know. Happy. Not like mom and my teachers. Or the mail man. Or the garbage man. They never look happy.


I got the big red jar of peanut butter out and a paper towel and two of the little pieces of bread that were smooth and white. It was dark in here, just the light from my room and the orange lamp down the road and the last part of the sunset where the sky is dark blue and the mountains all purple and the tall cactuses are black. But I knew where everything was anyway so I didn't need light really.


You'd think jobs would be something good the way everyone talks about them. But I guess not.

I took dinner to the living room and turned the small curvy TV on so I could pick out a movie from the shelf.

So why do we gotta have jobs then?

I picked out The Little Mermaid again and put the black tape in the VHS thing before sitting right in front of the TV to watch. Everything's blue and pretty Under the Sea with the red crab Sebastian and the purple and yellow fish and Ariel's pretty red big hair not like my flat brown hair. And her eyes are blue too like the ocean. Mine are light brown like syrup. Mom told me once a long time ago they're Amber color.

Amber is a normal name. So is Ariel. Not Elektra though.

Wish I could be

Part of yourrrrrr

Worldddd

That part always sounds real pretty. I pretended like I was singing along with peanut buttery words.

I laid down on my tummy now that I was done eating and grabbed a pillow from the couch. My face was toward the TV so I could see it up close still but I couldn't get the pillow right and see the TV good at the same time. I guess I didn't have to see the TV since I knew what was going on pretty good but it was still fun to watch.

Ariel has a dad but not a mom. Not me. I've got a mom but not a dad.

I couldn't get the pillow comfy on my face so I laid down on my tummy and put my elbows on it so I could see.

Big bad Ursula is singing now.

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have po ssessed

Do I po sess any talents? I know all the words to some of the songs. Not this one though cause I don't know what she says at the end when she's really making the spell go.

Poor unfortunate souls in pain in need

The pillow wasn't comfy again so I scooted forward more even closer to the TV so now the pillow was right between my tummy and my legs. I really wanted to see this next song Kiss the Girl since it's my other favorite one too. I know all the words to this one. When I watched it last week I sang along but this time I wanted to dance instead.

She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her

Everything was a pretty blue around them on the TV. Not like here. They kept looking at each other but I wouldn't wait that long. I would be kissing him by now.

I opened my mouth to pretend we were kissing while I was dancing. The pillow moved down a little more so I put my arms on the floor so I could dance with it a little better.

Even when the song was over I kept dancing with the pillow and kissing the air and real quick the movie was over even though I didn't remember a lot of it.

I yawned real big and turned the TV off and went back to my room. I lay on my tummy again.

Mercury takes 59 Earth days to make one full rotation. A year on Mercury goes by fast. It is the closest planet to the sun, but it’s actually not the hottest. Venus is hotter.

My tummy was kinda warm. I could feel when I touched it with my hand and I wanted to dance with the bed too. Maybe dancing was my talent that I have po sessed.

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Venus is a terrestrial planet. It is small and rocky. A day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days.

I danced all the way to Mars even though

BEEP BEEP BEEP

when my alarm clock went off I woke up drooling all over Jupiter with the page messed up a little bit. I think I had a dream about dancing but I couldn't remember it real good. Oh well.
