Excellent writing Adelaide

Dear Space 13 Porkchop.  Once pastel pink your colour has faded and sometimes you smell.  Despite all your washes and marked stains but your appearance is not all that you are about.

Good hand or bad hand which will it be?  The teacher observes unbeknownst to me to see which one of us kids has earned the delight.

The reward of taking you home for the night.  It can be someone who has been good, worked hard or given things a try, or someone who has been helpful or caring and kind.  At the end of each day the teacher calls the name of the student who has been chosen for the job with praise.

Today it was my name and I smiled in and out, and that is what I think you are about.

You are not just a withered minecraft pig in poor health.  When I look at you, you tell me, I should be proud of myself.   Love Adelaide.
