I MET MY GIRL MATILDA IN THE 7TH GRADE. EVER SINCE THEN WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER AND GET OUR BEST IDEAS WHEN WE ARE BRAIN STORMING TOGETHER. ALSO HER OLDER SISTER CARLEE IS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT SHE IS JUST LIKE HER SISTER.
CARLEE
MY LITTLE SISTER WHO IS ONLY A YEAR AND 5 MONTHS YOUNGER THAN ME IS NAMED MATILDA. SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MATILDA I KNOW. SHE HAS A LOT OF FRIENDS AND IS IN THE DRAMA PROGRAM AT HER SCHOOL. SHE IS NOT SHY AND GOES AFTER WHAT SHE WANTS. ITS GOOD THAT I CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT ANY OTHER MATILDA BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER MATILDA. THANK GOD FOR THAT!

Only for Matildas!
