I like when it’s hot because
I can go outside and ride
my pink camouflage
4-wheeler. I zoom over
the grass like I’m in a
race. I play basketball
with myself, throwing
the ball up into the hoop.
If I miss, I just try again.
Sometimes when it’s hot,
I just sit inside on the
couch and relax. I ask
my mom to bring me a
Dr. Pepper and then I
settle down to watch
Hannah Montana. If
someone bothers me
while I’m watching my
show, I tell them, “It’s
ME time!” I like summer
in Texas even though
the mosquitoes are
horrible and the heat
makes me sweat!
