Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Some days, I just find it really hard to understand the other kids in this town. Take Apple Bloom for instance. Today was supposed to be Family Appreciation Day, where ponies, you guessed it, appreciate their families. Apple Bloom was supposed to bring her Grandmother, Granny Smith, to class with her so she could talk to the class. And what did Bloom do? She did everything in her power to avoid having Granny Smith be there at all! Look, I know Granny Smith could be a little silly sometimes, but there's no reason for Bloom to be as embarrassed of her as she was. I can't imagine how hurt her Grandmother would be if she actually knew what she'd done.

But you know, I suspect she was driven to do that by somepony else. Diamond Tiara I'll bet. That filly always manages to trick Bloom into doing stuff like this. But, I guess I can't get too mad. Bloom did learn to actually appreciate her Grandmother by the end, which is nice. Still, she shouldn't have done what she did anyway. I'd love to have a Grandmother. I don't really have a family like Bloom does, and I don't care how embarrassing they'd be, I'd just want them in my life.

Oh well, I have Twilight at least. And you know, I think I'm gonna cook her favourite meal today. I think she'd like that.
