Once upon this time, there is a little boy/girl named Courtney Jones, who lives at 2222 E. Chaple Dr. In Hello, California. His/her telephone number is [phone]. Courtney is three years old. He/She lives with his/her mother, father, and baby brother. He/She loves them all very much. Courtney’s mother’s name is Laura Jones; she is a homemaker. She takes care of the house, along with Courtney and his/her baby brother.

Courtney likes having Mom with him/her all day; sometimes, they play games. He/She also gets to help with the chores. Courtney has the most fun—running the vacum cleaner and baking cakes and cookies.

Courtney’s father’s name is Hollerith Jones. He is a football coach and works long hours sometimes; that’s when Courtney has to be very quiet and help keep his/her baby brother quiet also. That is a very hard job for Courtney, but he/she always manages to do a good job. When Dad is awake, it is a lot of fun because Dad never gets tired of playing, and sometimes, Mom has to act like she has three children instead of just two. Courtney’s baby brother’s name is Theodore Jones, but Courtney likes to call him Teddy. Teddy doesn’t really have a job around the house yet, so he just gets into trouble all the time. Courtney tries to protect him, but it just never seems to work out. He’s into everything, and he can’t talk yet, so Courtney talks to him all the time. Sometimes, he/she holds him on his/her lap and tries to put him to sleep, and sometimes, he wants to take her toys away, and sometimes, he just wants to lie around and suck on his bottle. Courtney loves Teddy very much, and he/she is the best big brother/sister in the whole wide world.

Because Courtney is such a good little boy/girl, these stories are especially for
