Rainbow Plastic Slinkies


Lipgloss is sticky and I rather highly dislike it.
I like swing-sets, though, they’re always nice.
And braces, although many think they are unattractive.
I have a friend named Faith, she’s really nice.
I have another friend named Janie- she thinks she’s a princess.
We had cake in class today.
I hope we go out to eat- I want to get another lobster necklace.
I know it’s just shiny plastic, but I like it.
Can I read in the car? I’m up to chapter twelve already.
Those sweet words: Once upon a time!
I wish we could just stay here.
I need to buy fabric- I’m making a quilt.
The patches tell stories.
I like folk music.
I’m not a good drawer, but I want to paint a masterpiece.
I drew the girl from ‘Oklahoma’ though everyone thought she was a guy.
Sometimes I wonder if I could be a vegetarian.
I improvised a little in the dance recital.
I had to wear eyeliner.
Makeup is itchy and I rather highly dislike it.
