THEY'RE ONLY MEANT TO BE READ BY THE PERSON WRITING THEM.

>> Dusty: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT'S PRIVATE?

WE SHARE EVERYTHING!

>> Dott: THAT'S TRUE.

WE DO SHARE A LOT OF THINGS.

BUT WE DON'T SHARE EVERYTHING.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN TOOTHBRUSH, I HOPE.

AND YOUR OWN BONE.

I HAVE MY OWN JOURNAL!

>> Dusty: OH, YEAH, BUT IF WE DON'T SHARE EVERYTHING, DOES THAT MEAN WE AREN'T BEST FRIENDS?

>> Dott: OF COURSE NOT!

JUST BECAUSE I KEEP SOMETHING PRIVATE DOESN'T MEAN I'M MAD OR ANGRY.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE WAIT TO SHARE THINGS UNTIL THEY'RE FINISHED.

>> Dusty: YEAH, BUT HOW WILL I KNOW IF THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SHARING THINGS OR ONE OF THOSE PRIVATE THINGS?

>> Dott: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK!

>> Dusty: HMM!

UH, DOTT.

[COUGHS] DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU'RE WRITING?
