Chapter 12. Mandy and the camera.
(Picture of "June 10TH!" "Filming day" being circled on a calendar.)
OMG! So..! The circus is coming together and...
Oh yeah! Trish here and... Does that sound better than Narrie? OH..!! There's my favorite U-tuber!
"HEY! Mandy!" I called to my favorite freeview star! "What's up, did either of my moms tell you that I'm going to be on TV for my birthday???"
"No, they DIDN'T!" Mandy bent down and... Swung back and forth and almost toppled backwards, but didn't, "But... Can I come?"
"Yeah, it's the circus."
"The circus is your birthday?" Mandy exclaimed, "Wow!"
Then she tapped on my shoulder and told me, "Narrie, I remember something about your birthday. Not many kids have such a special birthday."
Here it comes... (If you didn't know my birthday was on mothers day this year...) "It's my make up birthday. Because Mom felt bad even though I got a new phone and..." I showed her my new phone that's in a really pretty polka-dotted cheetah case and...
"WOW!" Mandy exclaimed, then she looked closely at the back camera lenses and asked me, "How's the camera on that?"
"I don't know, I like your camera better though." I told my hero. Or one of the role model peoples that I have got because her camera's have actual lenses and look like real camera's with film and handles and stuff as apposed the thing that will just slip out of my hands and I can't really use well with gloves on or anything!
"Well... You know they do have straps for phones, and these popup rings?" She showed me her own field camera that's technically a phone with 4 really nice lenses and a microphone and...
"Yeah... Still it's kinda..." I mean... The thing is that I really like Mandy's lens and how it's a real camera and you can change lenses like and with it you look really cool and everything instead of this fragile thing that I am pretty certain the whole front and the sides, that I'm supposed to be holding on to! Is just one, big, slippery, glass, screen...

"Hon," She tried to make me feel better, "a camera is a camera no madder what it can do, what it looks like or even what kind of lens it has, did you know that they have other lenses for phone cameras?"
Yeah... I've heard, I've even seen them once or twice too but... "I... Don't know much about that."
"Well!" Mandy exclaimed, "Why not come with me and check one out! I know I have a few in my car..!"
See what I mean? Mandy is wonderful!
(Picture of Mandy's car with a few magnetic stickers on it so she doesn't forget where she parked and a Plush octopus on the steering wheel.)
"So... Anything special at this awesome circus that's not only themed but real and for the whole community and it's going to show up and be on real TV and in the paper and everything birthday party?"
"IDK..." Well... What more special do I need? Everything is already pretty great. "WAIT! When you write the report don't use my old middle name alright. Because I... I mean we're going to change it. Alright."
"Sweetheart, I won't ever use your old middle name again, alright. I mean," She knows what it is though... "in the context of your middle name!"
"Ha ha." I laughed nervously, "Umm... I wanna change it before middle school."
"Oh, going into the big school?"
"Is... Is the big school any different? I wanna be super mature and stuff right? I also... You know Ben?"
"Probably." Gotta love her answers! I mean, just the fact she remembers me! And she is REALLY busy too!
"Well... He likes computers and wears glasses and is cool and I mean, I kinda...." This is what I want to ask the lady I only get to see in real life like on special occasions and never privately because her special person, Ryan Chestnut, is, like, BEN!!! "I like like him and I wanted to know if it's as painful as it looks on TV to kiss someone with glasses."
(Picture. of banging into ouch kiss glasses.)
Well..? I watched her turn around and...
"You mean my little chipmunk?" That's what she calls Ryan, cute little dopey eyed Ryan Chestnut with his cheeks full of nuts! "It's not painful, but mostly he just kisses my forehead. So I don't know about the other kind."
Wait... "It's okay to just kiss someones forehead???"
"It certainly is for us!" Mandy found what she was looking for and added, "Maybe you can ask Ben if it's alright sometime."
"Alright. Thank you." SIGH! Yeah, Mandy is my role model!
"And here Sweetheart," Mandy opened her hand to show me a little thing on a clip and told me, "I only have a macro lens, but if we attach it, we can get some really cool closeups!"
