Goooooo Mikali

There once was a girl named Mikali (Mi-KAY-lee). You probably know her, but if you don't I will tell you of her magical achievements as a human being.

Mikali was so sweet--she called me to get my phone number. Did you know? She loves orange juice. She once spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said 'concentrate.' Mikali is always wishy-washy, so she put lipstick on her forehead to make up her mind. She also keeps in touch with me: once, that darling girl sent me a fax with a stamp on it. Once, she got a fish. When it started swimming around, she got so mad she tried to drown it. It happened with her bird, too. Except she tried to throw it off a cliff to kill it. Every Saturday she goes to the corner store to shop. One time, she heard the cashier talking about a 'quarter back'. She marched up to the cashier and asked for a quarter. A tragic night, she got locked in a grocery store and starved for two days, until the store reopened. While calling me, she tripped over a cordless phone. A math freak as she is, Mikali took a ruler to bed to see how long she slept. She was terrified when the doctor said she needed a blood test. she studied all night! Mikali takes the 44 bus to school. When she missed the 44 bus, she took the 22 bus twice instead. In October, I went to Florida. She offered to drive me, that nice girl! When she took me to the airport and saw a sign that said 'Airport Left', she turned around and went home. When we went on a helicopter ride in the glaciers of Alaska, she turned off the 'big fan' in a helicopter when she got cold.

Isn't Mikali such a smart girl? I love that kid.
