Dear Anita,

My mom always says that summer vacation is too long – because kids get lonely.  In the summer I take out my little phone book, it is cute and small.  I have my friends numbers written in them.  And I start calling people to come over.  I always hope someone can play.

Sometimes they come over, but sometimes I go over there – if my mom can drive me.  Sometimes my mom says she doesn’t want a mess at home, so we should go play over there “god let their moms clean and make food for once!”

but – I do look for friends to come over, so that I am not lonely and have company.  because my mom says its good to have company
