I'm stuck with doing the dishes with my own hands tonight. I can only use soap, though because my family didn't pay the water bill. I'm on the way to be a big sister, and we don't have any water for the baby! And it's not like we can go buy the baby clothes either. I've been wearing the same dresses for a whole month! Now I am a very girly girl, but whoever put us in this great depression is gonna get a piece of my mind.
