    Translation: Dear diary guess what! “What?” Today is 4th of July! Goodbye 2007, hello 2008!

    bire -> “bi-ree” -> maybe the “b” is a backwards “d” -> “di-ree” -> diary

    Gess -> guess

    Julie -> July

    Good, by -> goodbye (the comma is actually an exclamation point for the line below)

    “Goodbye 2007, hello 2008” -> American school system at work.

      The b in “bire” is probably a capital D. “D I R E.”

      I think confusing July the 4th with New Year because both have celebrations, isn’t the dumbest thing I’ve heard a kid say. Not the dumbest thing I said/thought as a kid either.

      It is interesting how they’ve written a little conversation and know how to use quotation marks.

      Aaaaahhhh I understood everything except the 2007-2008 reference. So… We’re making fun of a child who is just learning to write now, OP?
