Val's Diary

'A cake,' shouted my mother. 'Where are we going to get a cake/ There isn't a good cake shop in Greenhill!'
’You're going to make it, my dear,' said Dad.
'Me? I don't know how to make cakes. No, my dear, tomorrow you are going to buy a cake!'
'That's impossible!'
'Why?'
'Because I told them that you're a terrific cook. If we take a shop cake, they'll know Iwas lying!'
Mum got all red in the face and I decided it was time to make myself scarce! It's better to take cover when Mum gets angry!


I enjoyed reading it! Many stories of val's diary are interesting. I think Dad is good at making Mum angry.
