ABOUT ME QUESTIONNAIRE
by Ben Hunter
I am a person who is happy when … I have friends.
I am a person who is sad when … I lose.
My favorite color is … red.
My favorite sport is … baseball, and my favorite team is the Darters.
My favorite holiday is … Halloween (except when my mom, aka the Halloween Fairy, steals my candy).
My favorite animal is … Monkeylad. He is part weiner dog but looks part monkey (tail), rabbit (feet: he hops with his back legs), and Rastafarian (ears). He is my favorite, except when he is possessed by a demon or when he steals meat off people’s tables. I am trying to teach him to behave better, but he doesn’t listen very well.
I live in a place called … Filmland, California, where movies are made, as you can tell by the name. Our neighborhood is very safe, but my mom still won’t let me ride my bike by myself.
I am a person who likes … sports, running fast, and sugar.
I am a person who dislikes … too-healthy food, stinky sunscreen that my mom forces me to wear, and bullies.
My family is special to me because … they love me even though they are annoying.
My friends are special to me because … they are there for me. Actually, I’m still looking for friends.
Dear Ben,
I have a feeling you will make some nice friends in fifth grade. I look forward to getting to know you better. I’m also a Darters fan. Go Darters! And I love sugar. Maybe I’ll make some cupcakes for the class soon. Your dog sounds funny. My cat, Cat’s Pajamas, or PJ for short, is part dog, part rat, and part rabbit, too.
Sincerely,
Ms. Washington
