Britney Spears [wears] those blue pants with the white flowers. I have those. Even Madonna wears them. I only like to shop for cool clothes. What I don't like is when an outfit looks weird. I don't wanna wear it. I love flowers.

Older people get to do whatever they want, and younger people don't. My mom won't let me wear what I want, 'cause she's a mom and she's bossy. I really like belly shirts. It's an ordinary T-shirt, but it really shows your belly. She doesn't like that they show our body. My mom won't even let me have a tank top. She thinks it's not appropriate. I really want to be seven better than six, 'cause I look like a seven-year-old. I really want to be a teenager. Now. Really fast.

[Teenagers] dress up cool so boys like them. I saw it in a movie. They get dressed so fashionable, like a doll and stuff. They usually do this cool makeup, like lipstick. And a really blushy face. It's cool.

If I don't dress well, I feel geeky. And if I feel nice, I feel like people like me. Fashionable clothing is way better and cool. My mom is fashionable. She blows her hair straight. My mom's pregnant, so I'm going to get a new sister to boss around and dress up with nice, funny outfits and cute, sweet outfits and stuff. When my mom lets me.

I want to be on television. I want to be famous, so everyone can see my pretty face and my whole body. How I look and stuff. When I grow up, I'm going to be so cool. And then, after that, I will get to be in a movie, 'cause I'm a good actress.

I already know what I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be a singer. And a worker. And I want to be a doctor. And a soccer coach.

Girls rule better. I love girls. They rock. And they rule. And boys drool. I love being a girl. I'm proud to be a girl, 'cause girls do whatever so good.
