PRACTICE THIS IN YOUR ACCENT! This morning a bird woke me up. It was

PRACTICE THIS IN YOUR ACCENT! This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark, or a peacock; something like that. So I said hello. And it vanished, flew away, the very moment I said hello! It was quite mysterious. So do you know what I did? I went to my mirror and brushed my hair two hundred times, without stopping. And as i was brushing it, my hair turned mauve. No, honestly! Mauve! Then red. then some sort of a deep blue when the sun hit it. . I'm twelve years old, and every day something happens to me. i don't know what to make of it. When I get up in the morning and get dressed, I can tell. . . something's different. I like to touch my eyelids, because they're never quite the same. oh, oh! I hug myself till my arms turn blue, then I close my eyes and cry till the tears come down and I can taste them. I love to taste my tears. I am special! Please god, please, don't let me be normal! Copy and paste this monologue into a word document and alter the text to fit your accent. Once finished print off script and keep for your first assignment.
