Clare’s Opinion of her Mom

Family, Memories, Writing

My mom is middle size. She used to have long hair but she cut it. It is brown just like mine and wiggly but she tries to make it straight. She has brown sparkly eyes. Sometimes she cooks waffle pancakes for me and they are my favorite. She works in a school and teaches students. When I go to her work I draw pictures and I go outside to play there. I appreciate that she makes my lunch every day. My favorite time with my mom is playing with her on the weekend. I love my mom very much. My mom is special to me because she helps me with my homework. Clare
