United States all you wrote back was dear Peter the president enjoys hearing from you. He didn't even answer any of my questions. No I don't think that's fair.

Thank you Carol Ward we have some answers to those very questions don't we. Indeed we do Chris as well that you would like to know what was wrong with the country. Proud to say. Child or adult an adult because you got so much more privileges because the people around you get . What you learn in life. Because I would. Like to be a baseball player because you can help yourself if you need help to help you . I don't know because you get more fun like riding a bike or skateboarding

. I'd rather be a child because I don't know how many more responsibilities when you're an adult and everything like you get a lot of free. You get to be so free when your kid so far rather being a child wasn't having fun at it. And that's today's news and weather what's happening in your town. Send your letter to box 3 for Boston Mass 0 2 1 3 4. I'm frankly a

little devil. It was my pleasure. Yes yes. Candy from a baby here. Hey hey hey. Did you see that. I've been doing so many good deeds lately. I don't know what's happening to me . I'm losing.

I'm just no. Oh and there goes my other one. It's so embarrassing. I'm for the part the scenes . Look like it like it looks like a . Carrot. Yeah right now would be nice. This is what it says. This problem might happen to other boys and girls . Recently my mother got remarried and we moved to Long Island from Flatbush Brooklyn . How do you think it feels to move to a strange neighborhood and get a new family all at

once. I don't know how putting two families together would work out. I was a bit scared . I had never known my father and I never had a brother. Would we fight for me. Then there was school and new friends and even nuance uncles and cousins would be all like the same things to do. Yes I was worried but I found out it can all work out if we tried. If you try hard. We all get along. We have had to make many changes. I've discovered that I like family living. My mom doesn't work anymore. I get along with my brother within reason and having dad is nice. I'm even learning how to live in the country but the squirrels and the birds. How would other boys and girls feel. I think it would be hard I mean to live in one way and then I would have to change. My president and like my follow up on the Cape here and I don't know it's all it's different you know like stay with each other in America from people

like my father. But at first I had a clown by his name Pedro spade right. But now like I can talk I could talk to him you know MAN Oh yeah. Now kids that's it be hard to comment on you father Dad because you think if you're on the front you say well maybe dad if I started calling Dad I don't know yet is that he really he did he. Likes the guy. Yeah right. But it's something that he can't really. So you'll say I'm for real. I had to ask. Do you sing. Does he want her father she can call him Dad you know and everything else and feel that

the real parent my father you know my father married again for this brother that's really different it's hard to call me and call her you know but everyone you know it just pops up. No I want a friend like my parents and think if they got married again and they married someone and I was a kid I think I'd be so hard to move with the new kid just suddenly with the new King you've never heard it sometimes if you want you know if your brother would say you're mad at your brother you think oh why this whole thing have to happen and it's a lot harder because if I had to have another sister another brother or you know I got my transcribed force and stuff I think if I was mad at him. This is so stupid all this time I can just be like the old days you know I said you know what MY HARDEST THING I'M HAVING A stuff that is giving them a hard Christmas or different day what I look

like. Like I it's hard for me to write him. I do it when I do it especially the family one of the kids and he wouldn't want them to go . Like you say . You know he got mad and I spanked this kid but then afterwards I think you know our life is like you know like you know . Yeah. I feel really bad because like when your mother has something you know I

think it's because you know their parents think it isn't some parents because if. Say you get all this happen. We have a life on the line of us here so don't know if I can do is have the kids say they're going to have hard feelings. Maybe it's good for some kids but I don't think the true young and second because you can't see them out you know when I see such a hard . Person to discussion. She said well I'm going to marry you but if you feel you know I don't have the

money much to say you know it's you know it would be hard to get used to . She's walking on the sea her brother or sister and she's walking with this girl with this boy. Thank. You.

Right.

Why don't you.
