      Name: Molly Mac

      People in my family: Mom, Dad, Drooly baby brother Alex

      My best friend: Kayley!!!!

      I really like: Crunchy delicious tacos! But not if they have tomatoes on them. Yuck! They are squirty and wet.

      When I grow up I want to be: An artist. And a famous animal trainer. And a professional taco taster. And a teacher. And a super hero. And a lunch lady. And a pirate!

      My special memory: Kayley and I camped in my yard. We made s'mores with cheese.
