I sat cross-legged on my bed and gazed around. No wonder Stacey had called me a baby. My room looks like a nursery. There’s no crib or changing table, but basically the room hasn’t changed since I was three. It’s decorated in pink and white, which my father had just naturally assumed every little girl would like. The truth is, I like yellow and navy blue. Pink is one of my least favorite colors.

The curtains, which are ruffly, are made of pink flowered fabric and are tied back with pink ribbons. The bedspread matches the curtains. The rug is pale pink shag, and the walls are white, with pink baseboards.

Living in my room is like living inside a cotton-candy machine.

What bothers me most, though, is what’s on the walls — or rather, what isn’t on them. I’ve spent a lot of time in Kristy’s and Claudia’s rooms, and I’ve been in Stacey’s room twice, and I’ve decided that you can tell a lot about the people who use those rooms just by looking at the walls. For example, Kristy loves sports, so her walls are covered with posters about the Olympics and pictures of gymnasts and football players. Claudia is an artist and her own work hangs everywhere. She changes it often, taking down old paintings or drawings and putting up new ones. And Stacey, who misses New York more than she’ll admit, has tacked up a poster of the city at night, another of the Empire State Building, and a map of Manhattan.

Here’s what’re on my walls: a framed picture of my parents and me, taken the day I was christened; a framed picture of Humpty Dumpty (before he broke); and two framed pictures of characters from Alice in Wonderland. They are all framed in pink.

Do you know what I would like to have on my walls? I’ve thought about this very carefully, just in case my father should ever lose his mind and say I can redecorate. I’m not allowed to put up posters because the thumbtacks would make too many holes in the wall. But assuming Dad was really bonkers and didn’t care about holes, I’d put up a giant poster of a kitten or maybe several kittens, a big photo of the members of the Baby-sitters Club, a poster of New York City, and maybe one of Paris.

I would take down Humpty and Alice, but leave the picture of my family.

GPT This!

Je m’assieds sur mon lit, jambes croisées. Pas étonnant que Sophie me traite de gamine. Ma chambre n’a pratiquement pas changé depuis mes trois ans. Elle est peinte en rose et blanc parce que mon père, bien sûr, était persuadé que c’étaient les couleurs qu’aiment toutes les petites filles. Moi, j’aime le jaune et le bleu marine.

Les rideaux plissés sont en tissu imprimé de fleurs roses et noués avec des rubans roses. Le dessus de lit est assorti aux rideaux. Le tapis est rose pâle et les murs sont blancs avec des bordures roses. Ma chambre ressemble à de la barbe à papa.

Ce qui me tracasse le plus, c’est ce qu’il y a sur le murs, ou plutôt ce qu’il n’y a pas. Dans la chambre de Christine, qui adore le sport, il y a des affiches des Jeux olympiques, des photos de gymnastes et de joueurs de football. Claudia, qui est artiste, accroche ses œuvres un peu partout. Sophie, qui regrette Toronto plus qu’elle ne veut bien l’admettre, a collé dans sa chambre un grand poster de Toronto la nuit.

Sur mes murs, il y a une photo de mes parents et moi le

jour de mon baptême et deux illustrations d’Alice au pays des merveilles. Toutes avec des cadres roses.

Tu sais ce que j’aimerais avoir sur mes murs? J’y ai souvent pensé, au cas où mon père perdrait un jour la tête et m’autoriserait à redécorer ma chambre. Je mettrais un poster géant avec des chatons et un autre de Montréal. J’enlèverais les illustrations d’Alice mais je laisserais la photo de mes parents.
