The Secret Confessions of Addison Lacy

I have to make this quick. My mom fell asleep reading Emily a book, so I managed to sneak over while she was out. Really, who falls asleep in the middle of the day while reading a book? Especially to Emily who NEVER stops talking!! I guess maybe that means she doesn't get enough sleep at night or something. Oh well. Anyway, I've been wanting to make a confession, but my mom watches me like a hawk! (That or Cole is always on the computer.)
Here it is....
I am a thumbsucker!
There it's out! My parents are very much against it (because everyone tells them it is such a hard habit to break), so I knew that I would have to be the one to confess. They always pull my thumb out, especially my Dad. If you want to see a battle sometime, come to my house when I am tired and Dad is home. I put my thumb in, he pulls it out. I put my thumb back in, he pulls my thumb back out. Over and over. Sometimes when he pulls out my thumb and puts a pacifier in, I keep it in until he's not looking and then I spit it out and put my thumb back in. It's a pretty fun game!
My mom on the other hand just looks at me and says, "Addy take your thumb out of your mouth." And believe it or not, I look at her, give her a great big grin and actually take my thumb out. At least for a minute! (I want her to think I'm more obedient than my brother and sister.)
My Dad has also made such a big deal out of it that if Cole or Emily sees me with my thumb in my mouth, they sound the red alert. I can hear them now, "Addy has her thumb in her mouth!" Yelled at the top of their lungs. I will get my revenge on them one day!
There is however, one person who approves of my habit, but that's probably because he would approve of any legal habit I have!
Thanks for your support Grandpa! I miss you!
