Dear Dumb Diary Year 2 #1: School. Hasn't This Gone on Long Enough?, Mon journal full nul : Une nouvelle annee

« Cher qui que tu sois qui lit ce journal full nul, si tu es un tant soit peu futé, tu t'arrêteras sur le champ. Sérieusement, prend une minute pour y penser. Tu t'imagines que je ne le saurai pas? Tu crois vraiment que jamais tu ne diras ou ne feras quelque chose qui me mettra la puce à l'oreille? Tu sais comment je sais tout ça? C'est que tu vois, je n'en suis pas à mes débuts, il y a longtemps que je tiens un journal. Je suis maintenant pas mal plus expérimentée et plus rusée que je ne l'étais quand j'étais jeune... »


"Dear Whoever Is Reading My Dumb Diary, If you're smart, you'll stop reading it right now. Seriously, just think this through. You're probably imagining that I'll never know, but believe me, you'll say something or do something, and that little clue will be all it takes. And you want to know why that's all it takes? Because I'm another year older, and another year wiser. I've been at this whole diary thing since I was just a little kid. Nothing gets past me anymore."


Original title: School. Hasn't This Gone on Long Enough?
