T J is my older brother and Ugly Brother is well he’s really a dog Don’t you go telling him he is a dog Okay I mean it He thinks he is a real true person He is a black-and-white bulldog His front looks like his back all smashed in His face is all droopy like he’s sad but he’s not His two front teeth stick out and his tongue hangs down Now you know why his name is Ugly Brother Everyone I love to the moon and back lives in Jacksonville Nanny Pa Granny Pappy my aunts my uncles and my cousins all live here I’m extra lucky because I can see all of them any time I want to My momma says I’m pretty She says I have eyes as blue as the summer sky and a smile as sweet as an angel Momma says pretty is as pretty does That means being nice to the old folks taking care of little animals and respecting my momma and daddy But I’m pretty on the outside and on the inside My hair is long brown and curly I wear it in a ponytail sometimes but my absolute most favorite is when Momma pulls it back in a princess style on special days
I just gave you a little hint about my big dream Ever since I was a bitty baby I have wanted to be an honest-to-goodness beauty queen I even know the wave It’s side to side nice and slow with a dazzling smile I practice all the time because everybody knows beauty queens need to have a perfect wave I’m Kylie Jean and I’m going to be a beauty queen Just you wait and see
Cool is Day Code One Chapter Slowly I open one eye My nose is chilly It’s a little cold in my room I hear my alarm going off and Ugly Brother snoring Suddenly I realize it’s Friday Wake up sleepyhead I shout I jump out of bed and pull on my jeans and shirt I can’t wait to go to school Today is a special computer day at school called The Day of Code Ugly Brother is not excited about computers but he follows me downstairs for breakfast He is always excited about food When we get to the kitchen Momma says You’re up and dressed early today Yes ma’am I reply Today is The Day of Code What is that Momma asks They have it every year in December I tell her Last year we weren’t able
to do anything for it but this year our teacher has big plans The whole class is going to see and do some cool stuff on the computer Code is computer language Momma says I knew that Sounds like fun I eat my cinnamon toast in four gigantic bites and wash it down with a big glass of milk Momma frowns and asks Are you forgetting your manners young lady I shrug my shoulders Sorry Momma I say I m just so excited I put on my pink coat and peek out the window My breath makes the cold pane frosty Soon I hear the rumble of the bus as it rolls down the street Momma also hears it and comes to the hall to kiss me goodbye I dash down the sidewalk and scramble up the bus steps My usual spot is next to my best cousin Lucy in the first row of seats I find it and sit down Our bus driver Mr Jim asks What’s the rush little lady
