Excerpt from "My Best Friend and Me"

I like you because if I feel sick, then you really are sorry. You don't just pretend to care, but you really mean it because you help me to feel better. You rub my back and make me soup. And then I really do feel better ...

I like you because we don't get mad at each other. I like to be happy and you like to be happy, too. Did I ever tell you that you make me happy? Because you do.

You always try to cheer me up when I am sad. You wiggle your eyebrows at me and decide we should have a competition. Who can run in circles the most times? Oh no, I'm feeling oh so dizzy! My life is never boring or lonely with you as my friend.

You are my best friend because you always pick me to play with after school. And I always pick you. I don't know why it always happens this way. I guess we will always pick each other as best friends because we fit together in every way.Excerpt from "My Best Friend and Me"
