Get it!
Get it!
Good
boy!
Hi. I’m
Agatha Winters Frye.
Agatha after my
Grandma Frye
Gran and
me
Winters because it
was my mom’s last name
before she got married
Who’s a
good boy?
I only get called Agatha on
the first day of school when
my new teacher calls roll.
Otherwise, it’s just Aggie.
Agath—?
It’s Aggie,
please!
Aggie it is.
This is my house. It’s
still the same crazy pink as
it was the day we moved in.
A lady from the town’s
historical commission
came by to tell us about
how the color—she kept
calling it “lovely vintage
rose”—was the exact
right color for our
house to be painted,
according to history.
She also said that
we would have to get
permission from
the commission
if we wanted to
change the color.
I used to ask when
we were going to get
commission-permission
to paint over the pink, and
Dad would always say . . .
We’ll get
around to it.
Maybe we will.
I bet we won’t.
The pink used to embarrass
me, but now I’m used to it.
It’s super useful for giving directions, because no one looking for the big,
weird pink house ever ends up at the regular house next door by mistake.
Pretty-pretty
pink palace
Regular
house
These are my
parents.
