Dear log,

Father has been scolding me a lot. He tells me if I could put as much effort into my school work as I do in taking measures to prevent any possible alien abductions, he would be the happiest man on Earth. Well, I'll tell you this:

He wouldn't be that happy if aliens take him away!!
He wouldn't even be on Earth!!!

But I couldn't tell that to him. It would be rude. He *is* my father... So I just nodded and went up to my room and here I am now; writing in you. *sigh* It isn't really his fault, dearest log. I mean, Son is the top in her school AND she's already got scholarship offers from 2 different colleges!!! But, as much as I would love to be like her, I'd much rather make sure we all don't end up in a million pieces floating aimlessly in space.

Ooh!!! Nade wrote back from her boarding school a couple of days ago. In the large envelope for the whole family was a slightly smaller envelope sealed [with wax!] for me. She's drawn me another one of her hilarious comics including aliens, smarty-mouthed humans and people with potatoes for brains. This one is 10 pages long! She's such a hoot!! She really should consider the offer she got to work at that advertising agency in New York after high school. She's so brilliant, it's a shocker she didn't think of art as her career ages ago. Nade's perfect for it. At least now she won't have to study as hard as Son. I miss her loads though... I do wish mother and father hadn't sent her so far away.

I wonder what *I* will do my future. Probably be adopted by some organization who believe in aliens too. Maybe we could build our own anti-alien shack together! =D

I still remember when mother took Mr. Snuggles for a spin in the wash. So ridiculously stupid of me to think aliens would have taken him. Aliens only take humans, after all. Still... if I'm abducted, I hope I still get to sleep with Mr. Snuggles every night... He's the only man I will ever need and love.

.........

I just had a thought.
Do you think aliens could fall in love with a human?
Do you think aliens would reproduce with a human?
Do you think aliens have genders?
How do you think an alien would reproduce with a human?


Hmmm... I shall ponder this over dinner. Mother is calling.
