Hi Ben,

I was talking to my mom yesterday about when I was a baby. I remember lots of things about when I was small. I don't remember much about when I was a tiny baby. 【1】 . I haven't always lived in LA. I was born near Des Moines, Iowa. 【2】 . We lived with my grandpar-ents on their farm. It was in the middle of wheat fields. We moved to LA when my dad change jobs. I was eight years old. So my first school was in Des Moines, Iowa.【3】. I had to stand on the road by our farm at 7 am and wait. If the bus was late, I waited for the bus. 【4】! If I was sick, someone went down to the road to tell the driver I wasn't coming. A lot of the students came from farms. 【5】, and we also played happily with brothers and sisters. We soon made friends. It was good to be with kids of our own age. My best friend was Sam. He was very naughty! Were you naughty at school?
