Monday, I was sitting at my desk, daydreaming. I watched a couple of robins outside looking for breakfast. Three weeks of fifth grade left! I had on my favorite shoes, hi-top canvas basketball shoes. I have a red pair and a yellow pair. I never wear the two matching shoes, ever.

"Class, meet Megan Parrot, her dad is the new Postmaster. Please introduce yourselves," said our teacher, Mrs. Swayzack.

"Good morning, Megan," my classmates and I said together. Megan smiled in return. She stood close to Mrs. Swayzack and wore jean coveralls and a blue and white striped T-shirt. "Pretty," I said to Debbie, who sat in front of me.

Mrs. Swayzack led Megan to the desk next to me. She sat down, and put a small green notebook inside the desk. I whispered to Megan, "Hi, I'm Mindy."
