Yes, Prunella had many qualities. But she had some fears.
She hated pain and rodents of any kind made her petrified. Small or big, any rodent she saw in the woods made her freeze, then run away, shrieking.
She was about to lose her first tooth; late for her age. It hurt so badly, every time her tongue touched it, it wiggled and waggled so.
The pain consumed her thoughts and she was terrified. She’d never lost a tooth. She didn’t know what to expect. But she did know once it fell, The Little Mouse would come visit her and drop off some coins. The thought of the snuffling, furry creature in her home made her groan.
It was enough to make her forget even the pain of her tooth, and the pain of moving away from her home country to the United States, because her father had found a new job in Orlando. She’d had to let her insects go; she’d cried and cried as she’d released them, and she’d cried some more in the airport, as she carried her cats’ carrier through customs. She cried again in the plane at the thought of the pain of her tooth falling, and the Little Mouse coming to get it.

I don’t want to get braces.
My parents say, “It’s necessary.”
My dentist says, “It’s necessary.”
“You’ll get used to it,” they say.
I really, really, REALLY don’t want to get braces.
My teeth are crooked,
Jagged, they hide each other,
Some sit low, some sit high, some jut out, some jut in.
They are worse than the naughty kids in class.
But I still don’t want to get braces.
I have gotten too many cavities.
Too much food gets stuck inside.
I know it’s necessary,
But I don’t want to get braces.
Maybe if I hide in the attic,
Maybe if I stay still like my lizard,
Maybe if I pretend I was kidnapped by pirates,
My parents will forget to bring me to the dentist.
