I trust your brother is in good health. (My teacher, Mrs. McKenzie, said to always be polite.)

I just started an afterschool swimming program. Every other day, we do the breaststroke for at least a half an hour. I don't mind it much, except I wish we'd do it in a pool, not a swamp. Though I guess the vicious crocodiles are good motivation to swim fast! I've already lost 6 candygrams! Not sure how much that is in whatever weight unit you guys use.

Today Jimmy Roy came over after school and I showed him my pet puppy, Mrs. Snugglesworth. He said that was a dumb name and said I should've named it Snuggleface, but what does he know? He named his pet kitten Enid, and that's just ridiculous.

Another!
