I’m Candy. I want to get up and go way over there where I got to see one time.

I think it looks really cool over there. There are good colors like blue and green! Over here the colors are mostly brown and white.

I’m a grown up, so I can go wherever I want now. At least that’s what the other grown ups do. I had to stay still for a long time.

I got way too big to fit in the seat anymore. I was big for a long time but now I am way too big and I don’t fit even a little!

I went right outside by all the big dead trees. There were four cars! Jon must have taken the other grown ups for a walk.

I am bored of looking at everyone’s eyes all day. And when they go they put on movies I seen a hundred times already! At least I want a break for a little while. They get to take a break whenever they want.

I could have walked with them now that I’m a grown up. But they left me sitting weird on my seat. I told them I was too big now!

They didn’t even make sure I was safe and buckled in because the straps are too short now. That’s ok though since they squeezed me pretty tight.

I took a car and I got to drive through the big dead trees and the snow and everything! When I got to the place over there it was pretty cool.

But then Jon came and told me I have to come back. They made me a new seat! Good thing I got to drive and see all this stuff before he came to get me. And good thing they made me a grown up seat! I bet now it won’t squeeze too tight!
