Girls, let's get going!
Beautifully Me
26
Why haven't you worn the shirt I bought you for Eid?
Beautifully Me
27
Baba laughed and patted his belly.
Beautifully Me
28
I put on some pounds, Ma.
Beautifully Me
29
I am up to a large now.
Beautifully Me
30
Why was a large not good?
Beautifully Me
31
I grabbed my backpack, gave my kitten Kulfi, a big kiss, and rushed out the door
Beautifully Me
32
My teacher is amazing!
Beautifully Me
33
We did crafts, learned new songs, and took a tour of the library - all before lunchtime.
Beautifully Me
34
I even made a new friend!
Beautifully Me
35
At recess, some kids hop like bunnies.
Beautifully Me
36
Some kids run faster than race cars.
Beautifully Me
37
Some kids climb all the way to the sun!
Beautifully Me
38
Alix, you look fat in that dress!
Beautifully Me
39
Alix looks beautiful in their silk dress
Beautifully Me
40
It shines like the sun!
Beautifully Me
41
But Kennedy doesn't sound like she's giving a compliment.
Beautifully Me
42
Do I look fat in my overalls?
Beautifully Me
43
Uh...it was fine.
Beautifully Me
44
The house smelled delicious!
Beautifully Me
45
When we sat down for dinner, I was so excited to eat the khabarovsk.
Beautifully Me
46
Maybe I need to change too.
Beautifully Me
47
Zubi jaan, don't you want any rice and chicken?
Beautifully Me
48
I don't want kids to make fun of me, too!
Beautifully Me
49
I ran to my room and shut the door.
Beautifully Me
50
My heart felt like it was crying.
Beautifully Me
51
Maybe it wasn't a special day like I'd thought.
Beautifully Me
52
Sometimes when people are feeling sad or hurting inside, they try to make other people feel the same way.
Beautifully Me
53
I never thought about why someone would be mean before.
Beautifully Me
54
But sometimes we can be mean to ourselves without even realizing it.
Beautifully Me
55
And when we hurt ourselves, we hurt the people we love and who love us.
Beautifully Me
56
That's what we did to you today, and we're sorry.
Beautifully Me
57
But I'm grateful for my belly - after all, it helped me carry you and bring you into the world.
Beautifully Me
58
It's hard not to compare myself to other people.
Beautifully Me
59
But I'd rather be me - your sister - than anybody else.
Beautifully Me
60
Thank you for reminding us of that.
Beautifully Me
61
Through the window, the moon and the stars smiled down at me.
