All About Amelia Airheart

I never look in the mirror (unless you count lakes.)  I’m pretty shy and try to hide when I see a camera or else I stand in the back.  I get so embarrassed I blush and turn red. So you’ll always know how I’m feeling. I can’t see colors at all. However, when people see red they are angry, not embarrassed.  It’s very confusing.  

My dream is to be an Aviatrix.  Avis is the Latin word for bird... My family has generations of experience. I loved reading Don’t Let the PIgeon Drive the Bus and decided if I pigeon can drive a bus and Snoopy can fly a dog kennel, I can open my own airline.

I think I need to go to flight school first. The only school I’ve tried so far was a school of fish but I couldn't do more than a minute or two without coming up for air.  Scottie the squirrel says I need to learn arrow dynamicks. Why do I need to shoot an arrow and use dynamite? I already know how to fly!  Also arrows are not safe.. Some hunters use them, but birds usually fly high enough to be out of the way. They tell me if you eat too many tomatoes you start to turn orange so that could be very helpful. We could visit Charlie Brown in a pumpkin patch and no one would notice  me..

Another reason I feel nervous about flight school is that the ducks are in charge. That could be a problem since hardly anyone speaks duck anymore. I speak a little English or French duck, but you know the saying “If it talks like a duck and walks like a duck ..it must be a duck?” Noooooooooo! I’m not a duck! So I don’t want to speak duck if I can help it.  Some people use sign language but if I tried that, I would fall over! 

Hmmm… maybe I should try regular school again first. I’ll get back to you.
