Excerpt from The Music of Life: Muzzle Me Quickly I wish I had a muzzle For those very special days I couldn't care a smidgen less About the things I say My tongue can be as sharp as tacks My words can sting like whips So if I had my wits about I wouldn't part my lips Excerpt from Golden Child: "Jamie, I'm sorry. I guess this test has me more concerned than I thought. I was too tired to study last night. Practice wiped me out." She rambled on knowing that this reason wouldn't be enough. "And today is the last day of try-outs. I know you don't think I have anything to worry about, but there are a lot of really good players this year and most of them are taller than I am. Then, there's my speech..." "Right!" Jamie cut her off. "You always go overboard with the stress thing. It's unhealthy. Not only that but you are the Golden Child. Everything you do is perfect! It's been that way for as long as I've known you. So quit worrying and go ace the stupid test!" With that she grabbed Shay's sleeve and pulled her down the hallway toward their classroom.
