Macy told us that they didn't have a lesson at church today, instead they just talked about themselves and learned about everyone else in the class. When I asked her to tell me about herself, she handed me this paper:

My favorite color is red, pink, purple, and blue. I am good at backscratching, writing, art, and I am kind. I used to have a dog named Penny. My favorite foods are pizza, mac and cheese, and for breakfast, I like waffles. I love to read! I like Hershey bars as a treat. I will actually eat any treat.
