I am funny and annoying.
I wonder if my dad will go back to New Zealand.
I hear bees buzzing around me.
I see my shadows moving around.
I want to play cricket every day.
I am funny and annoying.
I pretend that I am ok but I am not.
I feel happy that I have a growth mindset.
I touch the sun.
I worry that I will never see my grandma again.
I cried when I heard that my grandma was dying.
I am funny and annoying.
I understand that we won’t be around for long.
I say that I can do it.
I dream that I can touch the sky.
I try my best.
I am funny and annoying.
