Oh five absolutely excited chocolate mice! You will never ever guess what today is. Not in a million billion years you won’t. Today is my FIFTH BIRTHDAY.
Oh trillions and trillions of chocolate mice. I have never ever been five years old before. Yesterday I will still four. But now I am five.
I am so very very excited but I’m also so very very “perturbed”. Not a word I would usually use but now that I’m an older owl I must start using more important words.
I am "perturbed" because I do not know what to expect now that I am five years old. I have never been five before. Being four was easy. I have had so very much practice. 365 days worth of practice. But being five! That’s a whole new kettle of aubergines.
I asked Oxford this morning if he could give me some advice now that I was five. He looked at me with very wise eyes and said “Octavia, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in fruit salad.”
Sometimes Oxford baffles me. What have tomatoes got to be with being five? I don’t even like tomatoes so why would I go and put them in my fruit salad?
I am a confused owl.
A five year old confused owl.
