ABOUT THE AUTHOR,
MY TAEKWONDO DIARY
Dad wants me to do taekwondo.
I don't even know what that is! But knowing Dad, I'm sure it's dangerous.
Actually, I'm hopeless at art.
(My art teacher, Mrs Quill.)
But I don't care. It will be so wonderful to do something gentle.
For once, I won't get hurt.
Unless someone stabs me with a paintbrush. And that's unlikely to happen. I hope.
(Mum loves anything I do for her, even if it's rubbish – I wish my teachers were like that.)
I bet Spot likes art too. And Fluffy. They could help me!
My name is Marcus Atkinson. I'm nine years old. And my dad drives me nuts.
Dad never listens ... but he always REMEMBERS.
Don't believe me? I'll give you examples ...
You see? He never listens to anything I say.
But he remembers everything I tell him – even though he never listens! How does that work?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
You see, he remembers things I tell him – but at the wrong time ...
JT WAS the class bully.
But now we're friends because I rescued his kitten when his dad wanted to send it to the RSPCA.
I'm looking after the kitten (Fluffy) until JT improves his marks and is allowed to have him back.
