Oh,today eggs are it seems 20 dollars, but they are really 20 cents.
Oatmeal again. For dinner we had egg soup. It's good, maybe that's because it's the only thing we can aford, I had to quit school. It cost to much, I do hope it will be over soon, I'm only 9 but have to cook,clean, wash, watch Mrs. Heather's baby and buy our food, Mother says I have an eye for bargains. And can haggle well.
