Make some Lemonade

"No no no no no no no no no no-", Gracie began.

"YES! I just listened to her say it. We are getting a new sister!", I fought back. "Not cool.", she slumped into her beanbag chair. "It just can't be! We never need a new sister. Never! I am just too happy with you guys.", Kit frowned. "We have to face the facts. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade.", Maybeth calmed us down. "Lee, which doll are we getting?", Kit asked. She always calls me Lee. I don't know why. "I have no clue. Probably a girl our age.", I sighed.

"Well, duh. What do you think we are going to get? A bitty baby?!", May'beth yelled.

"I just don't want another... y'know... Maybeth.", Gracie whispered to me.

"I heard you!", she shrieked. Maybeth stormed out of the room, leaving me, Gracie and Kit.

I grabbed Kit's laptop and went on the American Girl website.

"Let's hope it ain't Kanani.", Kit said. Her southern accent lightening up the conversation. "A his-tor...", Gracie began, "Histoical.". Gracie was dyslexic. "There! My American Girl! Which one is the prettiest!?", I asked. "Beats me.", she said.

"Erin said some names...", I told them, "Novalynne was her favourite. Then Dai, and Hanne, and then Zuri."

Erin came through the doors with a catalogue. "Speak of the devil.", Gracie snapped at herself.

"Here's the doll!", she exclaimed.
