My special parent would be my mom. I will give three reasons why she is special. She is Special because she helps me get stuff ready for school. For example, she packs my backpack for me, she also packs my lunch, and she lets me have what I want for lunch. My mom takes me to do fun things, for example she took me to the Hannah Montana movie in the summer time. That was really fun. She took six kids with her when most moms would not. We all sang songs in the van really loud. It was so fun. She is special because she likes to watch TV and learn with me. For example, we watch Discovery Channel and we talk about the things we have learned. I ask her all kinds of questions. For example one of the questions is like, why do the volcanoes erupt and will it happen around here? I always think my mom as a person, a special parent and a person that I will love forever and always and that’s why she is special to me.

My mom is very special to me. Here are the reasons why. First of all, she provides me a good place to live. For example, I get a bed with pillows and blankets. I have a special blanket that I got when I was born. It is small and yellow. My mom always makes sure I have my pillows and blnakets on my bed. I get a warm home and a warm room. I get food when I’m Hungry too. Secondly, she helps me with my homework. For example, when I am stuck on a problem, she will help me. She tells me which problems I got wrong. She makes sure my answers are right when I’m done. On the 22nd, I brought my homework to the science fair. My mom helped a lot. She is so kind. Last but not least, she cares for me. For example, when I fall down or get hurt, she helps me feel better. If I am hungry she will feed me. Today in gym, I got kicked in the leg while playing soccer. If my mom was there, I am positive she would have cared and made me feel better. I could give you many more reasons why my mom is special, but I would run out of paper. Now you know why my mom is special. I gave you three good reasons why.

Dad is special because he bought two kayaks. He is a good worker, he works a lot. He brings me to a water park and to restaurants. I get to pick whatever I like. He brings us to the raft at Chassell beach. Dad teaches us when to turn at the right time when we hare lambs. We have to walk them everyday and feed them. My dad shaves the lamb fur off and takes pictures. He brings me to work with him if he can. He even brings me skiing, sledding, and out to eat. He plays games when he has time. He likes bowling a lot because he is good at it, he even likes volleyball. He brings our whole family that lives in Chassell to Detroit. My dad is the best DAD in the world because he helps other people in the world.

McKayla and Mom.
My loving mom is important to me, because she feeds me, gives me shelter, and keeps me safe. Although she yells when she’s mad at me, I still know she loves me no matter what happens. Thankfully she helps me with my problems, and she’s there for me all the time. We like to exercise together on the Wii. Also, we started a book club and right now we’re reading “Junie B. Jones and the, ‘Stupid Smelly Bus’. She brings me places, buy me clothes, toys, snacks and especially school supplies. If there was a raging problem with me, then she would do something to fix it. I like the way she is and I hope she doesn’t change, but she can change on the outside, just not on the inside! Mom is special because she cares about everybody that is related to her or not. I love my mom so much, that I really could hug her very, very tight and not let go!
