the buzz on stover girl

stover girl was the kindergarten bee of the week.  some of the perks associated with this prestigious title include: bringing in her favorite book, showcasing the quilt she made with omi for show and tell, being in the front of the line all week long, and generally feeling quite important.  the only thing during the week that proved difficult was having to construct a letter to be read to the class about her.  mom felt like a tight rope walker wanting desperately to compliment her but trying desperately to save her from public embarassment.  so it was decided that her bee of the week letter would look like this:
