Dear Diary,
Hi! My name is Cassie. I am 7 years old today! Your a birthday present from my Mommy. I had a birthday party with my friends from school. I told Mommy I was to old for unicorns and dragons. So this year the party was about Frozen instead! I got to dress up as Elsa. It was so fun! We cut my deliciuous pink straw berry strawberry birthday cake.
I wish Daddy was at the party. He could’nt come because he is in prizen. This is my third birthday party that he could’nt come to. It makes me feel sad because I really miss him.
Some times some kids at school look at me wierd. I think its because my Daddy is in prizen. Some kids and teachers ask me about him . I say that I dont think he did any thing wrong. But Im not sure any more because I have’nt seen him in 2 years. I hope he does’nt stay in prizen for ever and I forget what he looks like. Maybe he looks old and ugly all ready. I dont know.
I feel sleepy, maybe I should go to sleep. Good night! :)

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow I start 2nd grade.
I asked Mommy how many more years of school I had. She laffed laughed and said that there was 11 more years of school! That’s longer than how old I am. I can’t beleive it! I think that 1 year of school is enough. School all ready feels sooooooooo long. I dont know why we have to be in school for so long.
I guess I should tell you about my school. I go to Brookemont Elementery School. It’s near my house. The kids there are nice, other than the ones that look at me wierd because of Daddy.
Thats all I can write because Mommy told me to go to sleep early for school tomorow. Do older kids sleep early for school too? Good night!
December 25th 2014 ← CHRISTMAS!!!
Dear Diary,
Today is Christmas! I woke up and ran to the christmas tree and saw so many presents under there waiting for me! Mommy gave me a new skirt, and Paxton got me a lego set!
I was most happy when I saw a birthday present from Daddy! It looked like a book. I opened it… and it was a comic book! It’s called Atomic Robo and the Savage Sword of Dr. Dinosaur. It’s about a robot who punches bad guys. My favorite charicter is Dr. Dinosaur, he’s so silly and funny!
I hope Daddy is okay in prisen. Mommy said that next year he will get released, so I can finally see him again!! I'm so excited!!! Goodnight!!!!

Dear Diary,
One year has passed allready. And I had another birthday party, but you WONT believe what happened! I was at the party, and Daddy came!! THAT MEANS THAT HE'S OUT OF PRISON!!! I saw him coming and went to hug him, and he hugged me too and he gave me a present!!! Do you want to guess what I got? He’s next to me on my bed right now! Daddy gave me a little rabbit! He says “You're my bestest friend” when you squeeze him and he's so ugly and I LOVE him!!! I think I’m gonna call him Mr. Rabbit!!! I went to show Lizzie and Susan, but they all were scared of him and thought he was ugly. But I like him because he’s ugly!
Any way, later Paxton came to talk to him, and Daddy couldn’t stay and had to go away. BUT I wasn't so sad because now I know that Daddy’s out of prison! And he'll come and see me again!

Dear Diary,
Something crazy happened last night. I was in bed. I was going to sleep. Suddenly there was a big CRASH!!! and I heard Mommy scream! This bee guy with a yellow costume came into my room. He said, “Don't be scared. I stopped being scared because I saw how stupid and ugly his costume was.
He was so ugly that I asked him, “are you a monster?”. He said, “Do I look like a monster?” Which I honistly don't think so. He just looks like if a big robot bee got musterd on him. I hoped that Daddy would come and save me so I said, “I want my Daddy!” and he said “I want your Daddy too.”, which was totally weird.
Then he GRABBED me and I screamed! But Daddy showed up like I knew he would! He was wearing a red costume, and he made the bee guy shrink, so he let go of me and I ran into the closet. They became small and started fighting on my toys but I wasn't even scared about my toys. I was more scared that Daddy was going to get hurt. I peeked my head out. And suddenly there was a GIANT ANT in the room! My mouth fell open! Then Thomas the Train got really big and crashed outside, making a BIG HOLE in my window.
Then the ugly bee guy became big again, and started shooting at Daddy while Daddy was small! I screamed because I was so scared for Daddy. But then, Paxton came into the room and pointed his gun at the Bee Guy! And Daddy became big again and started fighting the bee guy, so Paxton carried me, and tried to take me out of the room, but the bee guy blocked us! I got REALLY MAD, so I shouted at the bee guy, “GET AWAY FROM US!” and because I knew Daddy was listening, “Daddy help!” . Suddenly, the Bee guy started moving all weirdly and just disapeered!
I kept calling for Daddy but he didn’t appear. Me and Paxton were hoping that Daddy would come back. Then it became very windy in my room and Daddy apeered again! I hugged him very hard and told him that I love him. And he told me that he loved me too.
When the police came up Daddy became small again so that they wouldn't see him, and Mommy came up and hugged me and Paxton. So that was the end of that crazy story.
Today when I went to Susan’s house I told Lizzie and Susan what happend happened but they didn’t believe me. They said that they knew that someone had broken into my house last night. I told them about Thomas the Tank becoming big but they just laughed. So they thought I was making it all up! Like it was a joke or something! But I really saw all that happen! That made me really angry. I don't think anyone’s ever going to believe me when I say that my Daddy is a superhero…
Here's a drawing of Daddy and Bee guy fighting, I hope you like it!

Dear Diary,
I thought yesterday’s crazyness was over but it wasn’t - I have a giant pet ant now!
I’ll tell you the whole story: I went downstairs to play with my toys because people were there fixing my room. When I went back up, the GIANT ANT from yesterday was there in my room! So I knew that I wasn’t making all of that up! I think he must have gotten in from the big hole in my wall.
At first I was so shocked that I screamed, but I think that scared him. He crawled away from me and clicked its mouth-thingies. But the more I looked at him the cuter he looked, so I slowly reached out my hand to pet him. He came closer to me. His skin felt dry, and it has little hard hairs on it that make it feel rough.
I think he’s really cute, I really want to keep him as a pet! I think I’m gonna call him Anthony. There’s a kid called Anthony at my school that’s really short. But I think if I told him that I named an ant Anthony he would get mad at me…
Anyway, I made Anthony hide under my bed so that Mommy, Daddy and Paxton wouldn't see him. At first he wouldn’t listen but I gently pushed him underneath and told him to be good and stay there. Now I have to find out what to feed him… Maybe I can sneak him some of my food. But I would need to move him up and down the stairs without Mommy and Paxton seeing…
P.S: Also, I don’t know if I should tell Lizzie and Susan about Anthony. I think they wouldn’t believe me unless I showed them…

Dear Diary,
Today I FINALLY did my first cartwheel!! I practiced all week, and today I finally did it! Paxton took a video of me doing it to, and he and Mommy were so proud of me!
Also, today Daddy came over for dinner! I helped with the cooking, and we made a really tasty meatloaf with veggies and eggs!
There was great news at the dinner: Paxton said that Daddy wouldn’t be going back to jail!! Daddy was smiling from ear to ear! Paxton said he did it for Daddy, not me. But of course, I was overjoyed too! I’m really glad that Paxton helped Daddy, even though he’s a policeman. I also thought that Paxton didn’t really like Daddy, but I think that because Daddy saved me, Paxton now likes him.
But then it became very awkward because everyone was just grinning. Daddy said “this is awkward”, and I thought so too, so I told him about my first cartwheel. Daddy was really shocked! Paxton showed Daddy my video, and he said that that was a profesional professional gymnast, but it was me! Daddy always makes very funny jokes. He’s definitly not as funny as Paxton or Mommy.
I almost forgot how funny he was because he was in prison but now I remember. When I was little he always read bedtime stories in funny voices. I laughed so hard that I couldn’t sleep. I think it annoyed him… I don’t see him alot now so now his bedtime stories are really special. I hope that now that Mommy, Paxton and Daddy have made up I get to see Daddy more, and he gets to read me more bedtime stories!

Dear Diary,
I learned a lot about ants today!
Did you know that most worker ants are actually girls?! That’s really cool! But I think it means that Anthony is actually a girl. Maybe I need to find a new name for her… What do you think of Antonia? It’s a bit like Anthony, so it fits well!
I asked Mommy if I could use her computer and I said it was for homework. And I Googled “how to keep ants”, but all of the websites and Youtube videos were talking about keeping ant colonies. And of course, they were all talking about regular small ants. I don’t know if anyone has ever kept a GIANT ant as a pet before!
Right now I feed Antonia bits and pieces of my own food, but now I think I’ll just feed her some honey and fruits. Maybe she’ll like it better than the veggies that I try to give her. But I don’t know if she’ll like insects that are too small for her. She still likes meat, so hopefully I can keep giving that to her.

Dear Diary,
Antonia is gone. I feel terrible
I woke up in the morning and she wasn’t under my bed like usual. I went down and found the front door was smashed. I must have looked very sad because Mommy and Paxton asked me about what happened. I didn’t want to tell them that I kept a secret from them, so I just said that I was sad because the door was smashed.
I’m so worried about Antonia… I hope she doesn’t get eaten by a bird. Hopefully she’s big enough to fight back. I feel like crying

Dear Diary,
Since it’s the last week of school today our English teacher made us write an essay. The topic was “My Hero”. Once I saw that, I knew who to write about! And I’m sure you do too!
Of course, I wrote about last year when Daddy fought Yellowjacket (that’s the Bee Guy). I’m really lucky that I wrote it all down, so I could get all the details right! But this also made me read some of my older stuff. I can’t believe I used to write like that! So many spelling mistakes!

Dear Diary,
Daddy went to fight with the Avengers or something. People are saying he did something illegal again. They said they took him into custody. I know he’s not a bad man, he’s a hero! I wrote about him in my essay! So the police must be wrong this time. I’m sure he didn’t do anything wrong. I hope that he's okay.

Dear Diary,
I can’t sleep again. I haven’t seen Daddy for two weeks. They said they put him in some maximum security prison. The police are such JERKS! Can’t they see that Daddy’s a really good guy? But I’m also terrified. What if he really did something wrong, and I can’t see him again?
July 12th 2016
Dear Diary,
DADDY CAME BACK YESTERDAY! IT’S A MIRACLE!
Mommy, Paxton and I were just sitting at the table eating dinner when the doorbell rang! Mommy went to see who it was. She yelled when she saw that it was Daddy! When I realized it was Daddy I ran over to him and hugged him as tightly as possible, just to check if he was real. I even pinched myself to check if I wasn’t dreaming!
Daddy came to sit at the table with us. He explained to Mommy and Paxton what happened. I’m not sure if they were mad at him or not. He said that he got a call from Clint (I don’t know who that is), who told him about some “psycho-assassins”. Before he knew it, he was in Germany meeting Avengers like Captain America! Then he fought some other Avengers, became GIGANTIC, but got taken down by some spider guy with webs.
I thought it was awesome that Daddy was doing superhero stuff again!! I was also really curious to know what it was like becoming so huge. So I asked him about it, and he said that it made him really hungry afterwards. That made me laugh, but Daddy was totally serious about it. He even said that he felt like eating oranges afterwards!
That’s so weird! I wonder what it’s like to shrink or grow with the suit… One day I want to try it out for myself! When I’m older, maybe…
After we caught up, Daddy said that he wanted to turn himself in to the FBI. Mommy and Paxton weren’t happy about it, but they said it was the right thing to do. Paxton said maybe we could convince the FBI to give him a lighter sentence or something. I just really want to tell them that there are other people who love him and worry about him. They really shouldn’t be so hard on him.

Dear Diary,
It’s my 9th Birthday today!
And even better news - Daddy’s not going to prison! But he was put on house arrest, which means that he can’t go out of his house for two years. Two years! Even I was a bit shocked at first. The FBI came and put a bracelet monitor thing on his ankle that detects when he’s out of the house. I think that’s pretty dumb, because I’m pretty sure all Daddy has to do is to shrink again and he’ll escape! But Daddy promised the FBI man that he wouldn’t.
It must be pretty hard for Daddy to have to stay in his house for so long. But Daddy said that he was fine and that he had plenty to do. The best part is - now I get to spend weekends with him, and play all sorts of fun games! I’m so excited!!
